Microsoft cuts Xbox HD DVD player to $179
Microsoft said on Thursday it would lower the price of the high-definition DVD player accessory for its Xbox 360 game console in the United States to $179 from $199, and add five free movies to anyone who buys the machine in August or September. Legit Reviews just used the Microsoft Xbox 360 HD DVD player in an article where we attached it to a HTPC and used it to play HD DVD’s on the big screen.
D DVD is a next-generation technology developed by Toshiba and backed by Microsoft and film studios including Warner Bros. It competes with Blu-ray, a DVD system from Sony, which is built into its PlayStation 3 game console, an Xbox rival. Attaching the players to popular game consoles is seen by both camps as a way to get the technology into millions of homes, and pique consumers’ interest.
