    I sold my 360 HD-DVD player for $129 or something along those lines a few months ago, which was awesome because I had bought it on sale for $129 a few months previous.

    I'm really glad a I did, because the market value for the drive is going to freefall.I'm sad I'll miss out on all of the cheap HD-DVDs, but in all honesty I couldn't be happier that Blu-Ray "won". Now we only have one format to worry about, it's a superior format, and the people who currently own HD-DVD players will have an incredible amount of HD-DVDs selling for sub-DVD price in the next few months, so in a weird way everyone wins.

    Just out of curiosity... What would you say is superior about Blu-Ray over HD-DVD?

    Wtf, why is the Add-on still 130$ in Canada? That's almost three times the american price.

    Yeah I was wondering that to because I would like to get it but I refuse to pay 130 bucks for it

    I really hope they drop it to 50 or so soon, because I want to get it for around 50 bucks.

    It's 50 right now. Best Buy has it in stock on their website. Also, that 5 free movie dealmight still be going on.

    I may pick one of these up as well.

    It is! http://assets.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/hddvd/Xbox360_HDDVDOffer.pdf As long as you buy it before the 28th of February its still valid. Not alot of great choices but Darkman and The Thing are definite grabs.

    Must suck for the studios that have to remaster their films now. I wonder if there are any movies that will never see a blu ray release.

    I'd love a high def version of Yellowbeard.
