Xbox 360 HD DVD Drive for US$ 119.99, HD DVD movies half off - Image 1


Deals ahoy! Amazon is currently offering price cuts on the Xbox 360 HD DVD Player as well as a bunch of HD DVD titles. HD DVD movies are going for half off, some going for as low as US$ 14.95. The Xbox 360 HD DVD Player is going for US$ 119.99.

Some of the titles Amazon is offering include Transformers (Special Edition, for US$ 19.95), the Complete First Season of Star Trek The Original Series (US$ 97.49), and even classics like Patch Adams (US$ 14.95).

These discounts come soon after the announcement that Netflix and Best Buy will be joining the Blu-ray camp. This is not to say that the two instances are related, but it's an awfully strange coincidence if they aren't.

So, who will win out in the format war? It doesn't seem long before we find out. In any case, now's a great time to stock up on hi-def titles on the HD DVD format.

You know it's sad that this had to happen, but we all saw it coming.

So, BURN BABY BURN and let the prices fall

» Its their own fault.

Toshiba tried to make money during the format war instead of lowering HD-dvd to the point where most people would have picked it over blu ray. Sony was willing to lose money on the PS3 to win the format war and it worked for them. HD-dvd and blu ray disks had been about the same price during this entire format war. Who the hell wants to pay $30 dollars for a movie anyways.
