Is the XBox 360's HD DVD player worth the $180 ?

The 360 people may one day become your allies **ironically** in defeating HD-DVD. Their HD-DVD add-on has poor playback quality and the movie selections are better on bluray. Therefore, because all 360's currently lack a bluray drive and because most of the hi-definition movies they'll want to watch are on bluray, all 11 million 360 owners will eventually be forced to contemplate the purchase of a standalone bluray drive when they're ready to jump into hi-definition movies. And the PS3 seems to be the best bluray player in terms of value in the market right now. And since they are gamers, too, most would opt for the PS3unless they feel they've been burned too much in flame wars to love the PS3 anymore. Like I said to whomever it was that was bashing me for mentioning my preferences and tastes in movies that are different from their, I'm not going to waste anymore time in here. Good bye...!!!

I think it was BaeDaTruth and some other guy who didn't allow me to express my love for those movies and called me an idiot for liking those movies. When I said that I have just have differing tastes and that, for example, if I don't like drugs and perfer Jazz music over others, that's just an my opinion and personal preference and that I should have a right to mention this in a public forum without being insulted, that no one in the forum should feel intimidated to express their tastes in music or movies or games. After I told BaeDaTruth that I also like Jazz music over Classical and Heavey metal as my personal preference, he goes and says that most jazz singers and players also use drugs. Oh brother. I could care less if Jazz players like to do drugs. That doesn't mean that I can't say I like Jazz music. What kind of people belong to this forum? BLAH...!!!!

EGM page 35 / issue # 212 / February 2007 = 360's add-on has among the worse movie playback on the market. And the worse movie selections.

Most of you were good to me though. So there were really only two people. BaeDaTruth and some other guy who started the fight. I don't remember. But I'm in the wrong place. I gotta go. I won't reply to you either, so don't bother writing.

How many more times are we going through this?

Your whitewashing martyr routine is laughable since anyone can see your post history for themselves.

If your going to get an add on or HD-DVD player, get one off e-bay used, at least you won't be adding to sales figures.

i have both blu and hd because i want it all, i originally just had the 360 add on, and like others said some discs would not play. but after an update i have yet to have a problem. and the pq can be just as stunning as blu, but i ended up purchasing a ps3 because most of the movies i wanted to see were blu exclusives. so to sum it up in the end blu will win just for the studio support and storage space. but i think utimatly the pq is a result of the transfer. ive seen great blu-ray's and great hd dvd's. and ive seen crap blu-ray's and crap hd dvd's.

But... I think everyone says that the blu provides the most satisfaction My HD DVD library will grow at a tiny rate because I'm just buying Blu Films.
