You can get the HD-DVD Player itself at GameCrazy for $10, if you're local store has it...Also there's a deal somewhere else that has HD-DVD movies for $3 a piece. So the cost breakdown
Even if you special order the hardware at game crazy that's an extra $10 to the $9.99 price tag, so $20 + tax for the player. Then 3 bucks per movie x 2 movies as the king kong comes with the HD-DVD player for a total of 6 bucks. So $26 plus shipping on the 2 HD-DVD Movies and Tax on $9.99.
