Gonna be hilarious when people try and stick that HDDVD into the Xbox DVD drive and it explodes.

Ouch...

bryaaaant · 10-05-2007, 10:38 PM

LOL. Useless.

I can already see all the people coming back to WalMart complaining about their 'broken" Xbox 360's that won't play the movie disc.

sj001 · 10-05-2007, 10:42 PM

???
Why they would package it like this without the HD-DVD add-on really boggles my mind. All they will do is piss people off...

mnelsoneorm · 10-05-2007, 10:44 PM

This is a great sales tactic! They've figured out the perfect way to unload all those HD-DVD addon drives. When people come back to complain about it they'll just upsell them on the drive! And I hope every customer tells them where they can put it! I know I would.....

Y3k Bug · 10-05-2007, 10:46 PM

It is a combo disc, so the regular DVD side should play (you don't still have to buy the remote control add-on to do that like you did with the original Xbox do you?)

But it seems...misleading to say the least.

Slapper · 10-05-2007, 10:48 PM

I've seen this bundle before. 300 is one of those Combo HD-DVD/DVD discs so the DVD side should work in the 360. It's still a pretty lame deal though.

Funny ,few over there think its misleading.

Now were not sure if its a walmart deal or a future xbox deal yet.
So were not sure if its a Wal Mart or MS blunder.

no, you can use the controller this time. at least they didn't rape you there.

Zyclone · 10-06-2007, 12:04 AM

well its combo so you can still use it , but will most people just try and run it on the HD DVD side not be able to and take it back? , this is kinda well a silly move , there i said it.
