Gamerscore Blog has announced a price drop on the HD DVD drive for the Xbox 360. The price has been dropped $50 from $180 to $130. This makes it by far the cheapest HD DVD player you can buy, given you already have an Xbox 360. If you don’t, why are you reading this site?
The downside to this is the inevitable victory of Blu-ray over HD DVD, given the recent events. I’m not sure HD DVD will last another year or two. Other than the obvious size advantage of Blu-ray, HD DVD was the superior format. Hopefully, both formats lose and everyone learns a lesson.

This is why I put off buying the PS3, and HD DVDs/players until the storm blew over. Or at least until the market suffered the brunt of it… which seems to be now. Clear skies ahead… Blu-Ray skies.
Silly Microsoft.
Now put a price drop on the wireless network adapter!!!
