Microsoft cuts 20 Euros off HD-DVD drive price |
Ó
The Blu-ray Disc Association may say that the feud between Blu-ray and HD-DVD could end in 18 months, but until the day we see a proclamation of which format will be dominant, all bets are off. To that end, it seems Microsoft is blazing a trail for HD-DVD in European countries, as we just picked up word that they're cutting the price of the Xbox 360's HD-DVD drive by 20 Euros.To stave off any advances from rival format Blu-ray, Microsoft has lowered the cost of the Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive by 20 Euros, a move quite similar to the one made in the United States in July. The said drive now has a retail price of 180 Euros (approx. US$ 245).
The move may increase both sales of HD-DVD players, as well as push additional Xbox 360 sales, seeing as most HD-DVD players in Europe go for under 300 Euros.

Good move by MS, especially now the 360 is once again the biggest selling weekling real next gen console(Dont include the Wii) the in Europe now -
http://vgchartz.com/eweekly.php
i recently traded in my old XBOX games & a few old DVD's for this > yet to try it out > gonna rent some HD-DVD's from Lovefilm ; )
In the U.K the XBOX 360 is the fastest selling console in history, it sell's more than wii or a ps3.
You can pick up the HD DVD drive in Gamestation for £99 (Approx $200) Still cheaper than the official cut price.
I think Sert is pointing out that the 360 is again the biggest selling console in the UK and the word Weekling is a typo and means weekly(as in every week) because the link is showing the 360 selling far more units now than the PS3 in the UK etc now.
