360 HD Drive... - Blu-ray Forum

(jeff) · 02-27-2008, 08:59 PM

Probably going to be killed for this but....

now that the price has dropped to 49.99, is it worth it so that I can watch HD exclusive movies, ie beowulf, transformers, etc...or should i just wait until they eventually come out on BD?

thoughts?

Your money, do what you want with it...but I feel that Transformers and Beowulf are about to be announced any day now from Paramount for Blu-ray.

But eventually and probably soon those movies will be made on blu. So is $50 plus the cost of the movies worth more than a better quality disc and your time waiting?

has any studio offered up any sort of time table as to when they will release HD exclusive titles on blu?

dont think so. but depending on when exactly they knew they would need to start producing blu again I believe it was anywhere between 3-6 months for the entire process unless they port it over from hd-dvd which I have a feeling will happen with a majority of them

one more question before i let this thread die...

i do not have the newer model xbox, with the hdmi support...

again, worth buying an HD drive using only the component cables?

49.99?

eh...?
