and they were selling it around 160% more than the real price, just to still the money from the bots!

KeenanTheSavage5938d ago

haha! Seriously. Now since HD is going to go out, and it's just going to be Blue Ray, I wonder if blue ray prices are going to go up, or go down.

Darkiewonder5938d ago

then i'll get. But hey. 50 dollars + 5 free movies isn't so bad.

chester5938d ago

add on that amazon is selling most hd-dvd's for about 15 bucks each right now and you could almost make a case for buying one. almost.

SeNiLe9115938d ago (Edited 5938d ago )

HD-DVD is dead but with the Xbox 360 HD-DVD player at only $50 with 6 free movies is worth it even if it is a throw away format. How much would it cost if you bought 6 movies in the old DVD format? Let's say each movie you bought cost $9.99, times that by 6 = $60.00 and there not even in High Definition! So you would be getting 6 movies under $10 each plus a up-scale DVD player for FREE that just happens to play a dead format that has close to 400 titles to choose from in High Def. Sounds like a deal to me.

Don't forget, you can connect this to your PC as well.

Boink5938d ago

if they had offered at that price from the beginning this war would have been over a long time ago...

craymoogy5938d ago

LOL. I'm sure it would have been over by now.

Sony will sell ps3 for 50 bucks. LOL

BeaArthur5938d ago

hahahah, only Microsoft. How about sending me an HD DVD player when my console breaks instead of a free month of xbox live.

Dashmoney1015938d ago

does it upconvert standard dvds? if so , i'll take it

bym051d5938d ago

I'm sure it does, but so does the standard 360 DVD drive.

GuCCi5125938d ago

the standard 360 drive does not upscale dvd's

bym051d5938d ago

I believe it does upscale over VGA and HDMI. I don't think it does over component (stupid DVD rules).

Silellak5938d ago

Yeah, the 360 will upscale DVDs but only over VGA or HDMI.

I lost my drive for collecting physical games due to many discs lacking the whole complete game. Instead, of collecting games I started collected figurines.

Popsicle3d ago

I am a collector have a room dedicated with a couple original arcade cabinets, physical game library, old and new consoles and controllers backlit with LED lighting. It’s very cool to have but with emulation being so strong and prevalent, I sometimes feel foolish because the hobby is expensive and like another said, the full game is not always on the disc. Could probably spend more wisely but I enjoy it.

shinoff21832d ago

Most games are usually on disc still. Of course you got you publishers that are hit and miss, Activision, ubisoft, ea, Microsoft, where the rest of the game needs downloaded.

It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
