Xbox 360 HD-DVD player gets price cut

 

Announced Thursday, Microsoft has decided to drop the price of their HD-DVD add-on 10 percent, making $199 turn into $179 faster than you can say "Blockbuster chose Blu-Ray." The price cut takes place on August 1, and will include your choice of five HD-DVD titles (from a selection of 15 chosen for the promotion). Originally, the free movie offer was only slated for Toshiba-branded stand-alone players, so rejoice 360 fans…you just saved $150 on movies. Of course, knowing most of those promotions, the movies probably all suck.

    I suppose this is the beauty of M$ plan. If Blu-Ray does finally kill off HD-DVD they can release another usb for Blu-Ray periphial for more money.

    This really doesn’t make a difference for me. I think that I will pretty much buy a ps3 because of there price cut.
