[Birbo]

Didn't see it posed, so forgive me if I missed it.

These are refurbished BTW.

[benjamouth]

Thanks OP, I grabbed one for a spare.

[bleepbloop]

nice. i grabbed one at Target last year or so when they were $40. it's a wise purchase as it saves wear and tear on the 360's drive (and we know the less use that gets the better). also, you can get reaaal cheap hd-dvd movies at this site ... http://hddvdboxsets.com/

there's some great titles that are hd/dvd combo so you can watch them either way. and i'm very tempted to grab Planet Earth for $15

[berzirk]

inetvideo and Amazon are also great places for CHEEEAP HD-DVDs. I love the hell out of my player that I bought from Frys with 3 movies for like, $35 or something.

[berzirk]

goddamn McPeePants.

[RoGo7]

Hmm... Do I get one or not? I have a HD-DVD Player and the 360hd-dvd player. Probably don't need it.

Thanks for posting though!

[mitch079]

goddamn McPeePants.

For some reason, this has me rollin. :rofl:

[billyrox]

everyone w/o a B in their name GTFO

[psunami]

Wow, this is tempting. I already have the one... but... Grrrrr

[Teodoric79]

Picked one up thanks op though wished I had bit on the fry's offer last year

[therodersabides]

At first I read this as "300 on HD-DVD: $25 @ Buy.com" Which seemed just a little overpriced to me.

[LeRoy]

I wonder if I should get one as a backup....

[K_G]

It looks like it might not include the remote, since that isn't mentioned anywhere in the details.

Frys.com still has NEW units with the remote and king kong HD DVD for $35 plus shipping.

me too! lol


so can you use this to play games via? instead of the internal drive? i know the 360 hddvd drive isnt as good quality as any other stand alone hddvd player (something with colors/gamma) but if i can use it in lieu of my internal drive to reduce wear, i just might get it.

Unfortunately, only the internal drive can play games.

[soccerstud652]

I'd be down for a new one at this price, and beef up an hd-dvd collection, since they are the same quality as bluray.

How is the upscale on regular dvd's with this unit?

[XxSmityxX]

wow didnt even know Fry's still had these in stock! Will have to pick on up, thanks BleepBloop for the http://hddvdboxsets.com/ linky

[K_G]

It is also worth noting that frys.com still has some about 60 HD DVDs for sale as well, most for less than $4 or less, including battlestar galatica season 1 for $5. While Frys shipping can be a bit steep for one item, they seem to only charge incremental shipping costs on additional items, so one item might cost $7 shipping but four items might only cost $8.30 to be shipped.

[evildeadjedi]

Awesome I just bought a Toshiba HD D3(or A3) player with 300, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Ultimatum, and Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix for 15 bucks off Craigslist. I definitely plan on buying more from Frys and Amazon.

[spooie_redux]

Stupid question, but... the HD DVD drive uses HDMI outputs, right?

I remember the 360s at launch not having HDMI ports, and want to make sure.

Thanks.

[JolietJake]

Thee video output comes from the 360 itself, not the drive. If your 360 doesn't have HDMI, you won't get it by buying this drive.

[koebner]

Yeah,the add-on connects to the 360 via usb.

Sweet! Just noticed I made it into your sig. Lovin that!
