Hi guys,
What's your take on the new 360 HD DVD player, will the price be outragious?? Also, will the lack of HDMI and HDCP support really make a difference. I was reading an article and they mentioned that the PS3 player has no HDMI connection, that will make Microsoft happy. Ohh wait, they are Microsoft, they are never happy. _________________________________________________________ Xbox V1.3

wrong ... the ps3 will have hdmi anod other features that the 360 lacks to deliver full 1080p .. althou the external usb device does sound good. its going to lack im sure .
ADDED umm the more expensive version will!!!!!!! god its like saying the xbox 360 will not come with a 20gb hd . ! their 2 versions of the ps3 the low end version and the high end version. the high end version will cost 600 i think so and the 360 addon will match the price ! but its still going to lack cuz its a usb like thing! _________________________________________________________ Xbox 360 Premium edition

Never mind your right, that's for the lowend PS3. The $600 version will have HDMI and HDCP support.. And yeah what's up with that usb thing?? Wow, that is really lowend for $500. Who in the world would give Sony the right to use the term lowend!!! _________________________________________________________ Xbox V1.3

I may be interested in the HD-DVD for 360 but will look into it more before I bite. Hey movies in true 720P and 1080i are not bad at all. I download the 720p video form Live and they look assume in 1080i. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!

I think i'll be waiting to see what really takes off tbh, Blueray or HD. Or at least until there is enough support for the drive... IE discs/films to play in it and MS release the HDMI lead. _________________________________________________________ JAy3k1
