It will be an estimated retail price of €199 euros £129 pounds and $199 dollars. Available mid-November. Plus...it is being bundled with an Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote, and for a limited time, an HD-DVD copy of Peter Jackson's King Kong.
MAJOR,
Peter mentioned the release countries, and mentioned the UK... Does that include Ireland????
PLEASE SAY IT DOES!!
Thanks,
B-man
I'm sold! For that price you can't go wrong.They're releasing a dvd/hdvd version of Superman that's playable on both mediums which is what i'd like to see done with most new releases as long as the price is affordable.
doom is up
Cooper there is one difference. We have a choice, PS3 purchasers do not, either buy the console with a high-def movie player or buy nothing. Microsofts offers that opportunity and the HD-DVD is NOT REQUIRED. Compare apples to apples, not apples to oranges.
great deal, Xbox, you are making us proud.
PG4 u beat me to the punch. :)
Well said.
Very true PG4, very true..
Have to say I'm very impressed with that price. Don't think I'll be getting one right away because of the lack of content at the moment, but at least this tag puts HD movies into an affordable bracket that BluRay will struggle to match for a good year at least I imagine (and even then, you'll still have the problem with the BluRay disks scratching about as easily as... an iPod Nano... heck, it might still stand a chance yet... :|)
put me down for one, HD-DVD sweeeetttt
The good news just keeps coming. I did want to wait to buy a next-gen DVD player, but For $200 US, I think I can afford to be an early adopter. HD-DVD is my choice.
I really wish it had come in at $150. I would have bought one in a second. When it comes out and I see one, I'm sure I'll get one. At least it comes with a movie that should look good in HD.
Is the media remote it comes with the same that was in the first 360s?
My God i hope Jackson will release deluxe version of the LotR trilogy sooner rather than later.You know that'll be exclusive to hdvd to, so ther one moe plus for owning the player.
Hoffer: its the extended one thats available now. I was gonna pick one up too! but now i'll just wait patiently :)
Hell YES!!!!....you got love this..
