I am so sick of the word 'FUD'. It's like the geek's version of the Paris Hilton

Theres a few hardcore out there buying them, but i'd say less then 1% will buy the hd-dvd addon. Whoever buys one right away is pretty much most of the purchases they'll be seeing. No one is mentioning that only the INITIAL run of the addons have King Kong with it, and that they're already sold out. The Amazon bundle does not include king kong anymore. So much for a packin. NO ADDON IN THE HISTORY OF VIDEO GAMES HAS SUCCEEDED. If its not built in, ITS USELESS.

I would imagine it will be built in in the next run of 360's with HDMI. These are things they can add without having to do a whole new console. The add-on is to merely keep the 360 up to par and give folks a chance to try HD-DVD without spending $500 on a stand alone player.

I still contend that the percentage of people buying the add-on will be around the same number of people buying the PS3 for BD.

I know several co-workers with 360's who are just gong to buy the add-on when it hits stores rather than try to mess with obtaining a PS3.
