EXPIRED - XBOX HD DVD DRIVE + 2 HD DVDs £24.99 DONT FORGET QUIDCO IF AVAILABLE ONLINE

£24.99

535°

FOUND BY: SERPICO77 7 months, 3 weeks ago

STARTS: 16/05/2008   

I work for a national Newspaper and gamestation are placing an ad in tomorrow's Daily Star which is advertising the above item. I have checked online but at the mo they are sold out so unless they get more instock this deal is only available instore....

I know all about the format being dead but at this price and with a back catologue of over 400 movies available surely it's worth a punt. Certain films are still only available on hd so it makes it even more of a deal to buy something which is affordable and not going to break the bank. Hd dvd movies are now cheaper than standard dvd and even a packet of fags.

The Xbox 360 HD DVD Player offers up to six times higher resolution than DVD, and following the Autumn 2006 console update, all Xbox 360 consoles have the ability to output native resolution 1080p games and movies. Users can enjoy blockbuster HD DVD releases, with tons of great titles available by the holidays from major movie studios including HBO, Paramount Pictures, StudioCanal, Universal Studios, New Line Entertainment and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

My local Gamestation was advertising bundle offers of Xbox 360 + 2 films last week. Not at this price obviously!

They were £39.99 for a used one with two films.

The bizarre thing is, that branch doesn't actually stock any films.....

Surely there must be more HD-DVD players in homes around the world than Blu-Ray?? I realise that the format is dead but.........

You should find that the stores supporting this offer have received more HD DVD player and film stock but you would not have seen it on the shelves because the offer does not start until today. The stock is new.

I go into my local store a fair bit and they had a massive pile of movies yesterday that they were pricing, and earlier in the week one of them complained to me when we were talking that they'd been sent a ton of the players.

I'm tempted, but it seems false economy because, cheap or not, it is still dead. Voted hot because value wise its good.

Got the Daily Star, and yep on page 23;

£24.99 HD DVD Drove + Any 2 HD DVDS**

** Priced at £7.99 each. Offer does not include pre-owned hd-dvd's.


As for it being a dead format..... True... but you can't deny it has its advantages as well. I'll still be getting a PS3 for the blu-ray later in the year, but at this price i may as well get one

Can I ask a really dense question

If I got a HD LCD TV, would I need a HD dvd player to play HD dvd's to make the most of the HD TV?

Yes - or obviously this XBox360 bargain.

Other option is to connect your PC of course (depending on your graphics card and outputs), and download HD content from your 'usual' sources

Broadcast HD TV is a bit of a joke at the moment...Sky HD costs an extra £10 a month plus the cost of the box, and gives you around 10 HD channels, most of which just show upscaled old stuff. Sky Sports is probably the best HD channel (only for live games) and on Virgin, you can only get BBC HD, which runs for about 6 hours a day.

I always come and point out that HD-DVD is dead, and usually get into major rows with people.

Its true, it is dead, and I don't see the point in throwing money away (you will eventually give up on it, and end up having to rebuy films in my opinion).

However, even i have to agree with this one, £24.99 is mental if you already have an xbox!)

Ideally, yes. This'll also upscale your standard DVD'd to a better resolution (can of worms opened about the quality of the upscaling? :P)

Got this deal yesterday in Gamestation it was any two 7.99 Hd DVD, which most of there film where anyway, I posted it last night on the Gamestation HD DVD thread! The xbox 360 upscales standard dvds through hdmi & vga on its own without this drive , so I wouldnt buy this for upscaling standard dvds as theres no point.
