Pretty sure they're about £80 preowned in Gamestation. Dunno if someone wants to read the fine print about preowned ones though.

says you need to have a receipt for after the 01/10/07, and the serial number, Doesnt the serial number tell them when it was sold?

I doubt it, as thinks are scanned on barcodes. THey may be able to track it as to when it was shipped, but not sold I don't think.

?100 + 5 HD Films not bad at all.

 

I defo get Children of Men and The Prestige

and probably Corpse Bride & The Chronicles of Riddick + 2 Randoms.

 

300 + Planet earth + Transformers would be follow ups for certain!

 

If only there wasn't a stupid format war going on, I'd easily hand over the cash otherwise.

I've read review which says for the price the picture quality is extremely good, not the best out there (but im sure to our untrained eyes its top notch) The only other let down I think I read was that connectivity isn't brilliant e.g. connecting it to surround sound systems.

 

Oh you can also hook this up to your PC / Mac and watch HD on your computers :D

 

EDIT -

Video of HD-DVD with PC - Clicky

 

For Mac users I believe Boot Camp is required for Windows XP :(

Keep up to date with HD-DVD Drive for the Mac - Clicky

Yeah as I posted in the purchase thread I gave in and ordered one. Picking it up from PC World tomorrow lunch time. Also ordered Transformers, Batman Begins and Army of Darkness from Movietyme. Probably going to get Serenity, Children Of Men, Prestige, Full Metal Jacket and er Black Rain despite having not heard of it, it cant be worse then the other 2 options. Double dipping on Prestige and FMJ though.

I'm glad I bought one, anyone with a 360 and a HD TV should buy one of these.

Been watching Mr Beans Holiday and Hot Fuzz on it recently. Hope Shrek 3 is out soon. Wouldn't mind watching that in HD.

Hmm it mentions that you need a retail till receipt... but if you buy it online you don't get that? Will they accept a printed receipt from time of purchase online?

I am definitely getting one next week. 5 free HDDVD's, and season of Heros free on HDDVD, that sounds like more than a bargain:yay:

 

 

Shit too bad the American selection isn't as good as the European.

I'd imagine so. May be worth while emailing them but I can't see why not.

I wish offers like this has amazing class A titles, then it would be too hard to resist, but no, they make you take some titles that you don't want.

Mr. Bean's holiday is awful.

The HDDVD player is ok although bear in mind its the worst HDDVD player on the market by far in every way. Its still better than DVD.

Im pretty sure most reviews i've read say it isn't the worst, hardly the best either though. Picture quality is fine but it lacks options like slow, zoom etc. One bonus it has over Gen 1 HD DVD players is the loading times, they are almost non-existant on 360 wheras some early players took a while to load parts of the special features, menus etc.
