HD DVD Drive Price Dropped to $130

February 6th, 2008 by Shafnitz Leave a reply »

hddvd.jpgGamerscore 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.

    It’s too bad most people missed out on the $80 price at Amazon. Even if HD DVD was dead, that’s a fairly cheap price.

    Yeah… By the time I read about it this morning, they were all gone. Oh well, something tells me another price drop is in the cards soon.

    HD DVD is getting really desperate now! They should just cancel themselves out now, before they loose a ton of money!

    Hmm $80 on Amazon didn’t sound too bad to me, but honestly I’m not a huge person in the rage over Blue Ray or HD, I’m happy with regular DVD’s for now!

    The rats are fleeing the sinking ship and trying to take as much cheese with them as they can before it capsizes.
    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!!!
