what made me jump instead of wait was
1. already had an xbox360 so the player choice was obvious and cheap (in comparison)
2. recent price drop on the xbox 360 player
3. 5 free movies (just checked my selections on amazon... $102.75 total)
so if you count the cost of the 5 free movies (which i would have likely bought in HD anyway) i only paid $88.04 for the player... i've spent more than that on movies for it already
ya that seems to be the cheapest entry into HD... i already have a PC that i have hooked up to my TV that i use for playing back my DVD's and such... it meets the requirements for playing back HD-DVD content so i have been considering getting the x-box HD-DVD drive and just hooking it up to that since its just a regular USB drive...
but i've noticed (at least on most of my HD-DVDs) that the audio is also better... especially when stuff goes boom... explosions sound more "hell yeah" than they do on the DVD versions of the same movies
recent price drop on the xbox 360 player
Hmmmm...that seems to conflict. The 360 player only does Dolby Digital - the same plain jain compressed 5.1 format found on DVD's.
Unless, I'm mistaken, and you own a player other than 360.
