Xbox 360 HD DVD player sales rise 1000pct

[QUOTE]
We just learned what happens when you discount the price on the Xbox 360 HD DVD player and throw in five free movies. Our conclusion, they sell more than they did before. Looking through Amazon.com's sales rank movers and shakers, the Xbox 360 HD DVD player's sales increased over 1,000% since the $20 price drop.

Wow.

Didnt best buy knock it down to 50 bucks cheaper?
Seems the crutch holding HD-DVD back has been lifted. Hopefully they can put up a better fight against BluRay. Not that I like to pick sides, but I just dont like Sony tongue.gif

This in conjunction with the forthcoming price drop for the 360 means that you can get HD-DVD (and a wicked good games console) into your home for $459. Hopefully if more units shift, they'll be more hope for the format.

Having said that, to get the same product(s) in the UK is setting us back £329 (or $660). There has to be a reason why we're paying over £100 more for the same thing!!?!?!?!

I thought you wanted HD-DVD to do well in the UK, Microsoft. It really is in your hands!

Unless you get an elite though, you'll need a VGA cable. dry.gif (So +$30 or so.)

If I can snag one from Best Buy for $150, I am going to do it. For that amount of money, I don't care if it does become obsolete in a year.

Do you guys know if you still get the 5 free disks with that deal?

Now if they can just get the movies down to the price of a regular DVD.

Microsoft and Toshiba touted claimed one benefit of HD DVD was that disc makers wouldn't have to invest to retool their entire duplication centers to make discs. If that's the case, then why are discs prices about doubled? Are making up their R&D costs and subsidized player costs and shooting themselves in the foot?

Whoever releases the sub-$100 player first wins.

If a $20 drop did that... just imagine the power that would have!

What for?
You can output 1080p for games on included Pro and Elite models component cable.
Movies will be limited to 1080i (damn you Holywood!) but it's not such big difference.

Also thay 1000% jump is in sales RANK - so it's not that they sell 10x more....

Yeah, yesterday they had a special on it for 149.99, it sold out pretty fast. Might have been a price mistake, but it doesn't matter, the deal is dead now, but you can see it was on the slickdeals frontpage you can get it for $160 still if you manage to use the %10 coupon Best Buy has out right now, also in that thread.
