video connections via the included audio adapter. The audio adapter allows HDMI video to be routed to your HDTV, while the audio is routed separately to your home speaker system. Without the audio adapter, the video and audio signals would both be carried by the HDMI cable. That would force users without a costly HDMI receiver to listen to their Xbox 360 game and movie audio via their TV speakers. That is not the case with the included adapter you'll be able to hear every blast, word, music note and sound effect through your home entertainment system speakers for audio that really packs a punch.
Advantages: Looks great, can be found cheap, movies will be cheap now too Disadvantages: Not supported anymore: no more movies, audio not as good as Blu-Ray
...nice idea to review the Microsoft Xbox 360 HD DVD player add-on. Retailers will no doubt be offering large discounts on this piece of kit now (in fact the rrp is now $129.99, but expect this to drop again) and as long as you understand that it will not be fully supported in the future, and if just want to see what all the High Definition fuss is about then you can pick one of these up quite cheap in the coming weeks and months.
First of all, this ... ...will be released that will use it, which is a good decision in my opinion, as although games could benefit from the enlarged storage space, many gamers would feel a bit cheated that they had to buy this in order to play certain games, and besides, such a strategy didn't work well for Sega with the Mega-CD and the 32X. I had both, and I should know, it did not end well! So its just going to play movies, of which there are now over 250, but it sadly ...

Advantages: DVD, HD, good system Disadvantages: stopped working after <75 days
Personally, loved the Xbox HD DVD. I got it for the kids for Christmas 2007 and found myself online playing different games as well. The HD DVD was just an added perk to the already great system. However, in March, the system shut down on me after less than 75 days. The dreaded red light came on and would not go off. We found that this was a problem known to Xbox users and the makers of Xbox alike. Profoundly enough, I loved that Xbox provided us ...

Advantages: Sound & Vision Quality amazing Disadvantages: XBox fans noisy
This is a great unit now that the price has dropped so much. It was €200 and is Now approx €60. The movies are also dropping in price rapidly and I just bought 16 titles for €160.
The quality cannot be compared to DVD it's completely on another level and with 5.1 surround sound you really get a cinematic experience.
The only flaw I find is that the Xbox fans whirling in the background can be distracting at quiet parts of movies but you learn to ...

Advantages: Easy to use and cheaper movies Disadvantages: There not making movies or players any longer.
I personally have now come to love the HD DVD player thats for the x-box. After my boyfriend bought it I was a little apprehensive about it seeing as Blue Ray was about to win the race but I have to say I have love watching movies on it. The picture quality is amazing and the movies seem so real and like your actually in the theater. When I got the device it came with a free movie and then we also go 6 other free movies after we sent in the paperwork. ... ...is going to buy this or the movies which makes the DVDs and player cheaper right now and I assume the prices will just keep going down. I really the HD DVD better then the Blue Ray because I think they have a better picture and the sound is great as well. From the movies I've seen on both players I was glad that I have the HD DVD player. ...
