Hd-dvd - Blu-ray Forum

NOT ONLY IS HD-DVD crashing..its crashing HARD REAL HARD...

If you are a member of Sam's Club and have any interest in picking up an HD-DVD drive for your Xbox 360, you might want to go check their prices.

It looks like some Sam's Clubs may be having a sale, knocking the price down to a piddly $72. It's not clear why or where the price is being dropped, but it is clear it's not at every Sam's Club, so call first.

Gizmodo points out the sale may be due to certain clubs no longer stocking the device anymore. A reader on our sister site points out that this is a price drop that takes place when the store has two or less of the HD-DVD drives.

KOTAKU IS TRYING TO GLOSS THIS OVER...but when the new's of "cheap HD-DVD players from china" comeing at rumor price of $299.00 why eliminate the lowest costing HD-DVD optical drive ..unless HD-DVD optical drives may just not be selling all that well...

Damn I might just have to pick one up so I can rip Universal movies to my pc.

I'd look for and buy that if:
1.) I hadn't bought a 360 and would get the elite, for 1080p
2.) I didn't think this war had pretty much been decided (I wasn't cheering for one over the other at first, but BD is just so superior. Look at the Children of Men/Good Shephard scenarios. That wouldn't happen w/ BD, because you don't have to make an entire batch to test them.)

I hear you can plug these into a USB slot on your PC with ease and be off to the races.

Too bad I still don't care about it at all. Maybe if they outright gave it to me for free and put it in my hands I might consider it...

These things really are cheap POS. Even almighty Amir is taking flack on AVS and has had people take him to task for it.

Wow. Does this mean HD-DVD is starting to hit the bottom of the hill? Probably not, but it looks like that aye..
