5 Star Review Nice HD DVD for the price

Strengths:

Cheap HD DVD for the early adopter of HD DVD. You can use it for your PC thru USB or you can take the shell off and put it in thru IDE.. but you have to use a program called AnyDVD.

Weaknesses:

The picture quality is so-so .. compare to a normal HD DVD player.

Posted Jun 10, 2007 - Well .. to summarize it's a good purchase for the price I bought. It has very nice HD DVD controller, it has backlight. It comes with King-Kong HD DVD which is really nice. King Kong is one of the best HD DVDs so far. I can't think of anything bad about this this player other than the picture quality is a so-so .. but then again if you have a nice plasma TV .. that would be a different story cuz u can calibrate your TV for the best result.

5 Star Review can't beat the price

Strengths:

$200 for an HD player.... its amazing how much more crisp the picture is than regular DVDs.

Weaknesses:

No power button. When I am playing my Xbox, the player is always on... it would be nice to be able to turn it off.

Posted Jun 18, 2007 - HD is really beautiful on a big screen. I bought player this along with the Planet Earth HD DVD set, and it knocks you socks off seeing the animals in HD!

5 Star Review Xbox 360 HD DVD Player

Strengths:

Can't beat the $179 price * Can be used on a PC/MAC * Easy Setup * Can play both HD DVDs as well as standard DVDs * King Kong HD DVD and MS Universal Media Remote included

Weaknesses:

The drive is loud but not where it can be a big distraction * You must use the Universal Media Remote (included) to eject a movie because the player doesn't have an eject button

Posted Aug 1, 2007 - I can say that because of this HD DVD player and the Xbox 360 I can truly appreciate my HDTV. This player is cheaper than any other HD player out in the market right now. It's a great little add on and especially now that the MSRP is $179 + 5 free movies (mail-in offer if purchased between Aug 1-Sept 30) and King Kong should be included with the HD player so you're getting an HD player with the King Kong movie that retails about $20 + the 5 free movies let's say they also cost $20 each you're getting $120 worth of movies free and you can even sell them and your player will end up costing you only about $60. If you buy this product you wont regret it.

5 Star Review Couldn't ask for more bang for the buck

Strengths:

Plays HD-DVD's very well, ties in with Xboxlive gold & Silver to download required updates and also works with Windows Vista (with appropriate software)

Weaknesses:

No Analog output, but oh well.

Posted Aug 4, 2007 - With the "perfect offer" you know get 5 free HD-DVDs via rebate including KingKong and Remote control that come in the box. Now is the time to jump into HD and enjoy the great releases.

5 Star Review Awesome

Strengths:

The Best

Weaknesses:

Nothing

Posted Aug 4, 2007 - I recommend this product. If you have a Xbox 360, this is a great price for a HD-DVD Player. The warranty is long and its small. A+ all the way.

5 Star Review HD on the cheap

Strengths:

awesome

Weaknesses:

none

Posted Aug 31, 2007 - This is a great little unit. If you've already got a 360, you can add HD to it for a ridiculously low price. It's a no brainer. The quality is awesome, interface is decent. Highly recommended

5 Star Review XBOX 360 HD DVD

Strengths:

Very simple to connect with the XBOX 360.

Weaknesses:

Does not have a direct HDMI port. Must rely on the new version XBOX 360 for the HDMI.

Posted Sep 15, 2007 - The quality of HD DVD playback is excellent. Highly recommended if you have a XBOX 360. The player looked simple, clean, and very compatible with the XBOX 360. You cannot go wrong with this one if you decided to jump into high definition.

5 Star Review A "no brainer" for under $200!

Strengths:

SHARP picture, incredible sound, inexpensive, adds extra USB ports to your XBOX 360, includes free HD DVD movie (at the time of this review), can double as an extra DVD drive on your PC

Weaknesses:

No next generation 7.1 lossless audio support, HD DVD has less movie studio support than Blu-Ray (at the time of this review)

Posted Mar 2, 2007 - Even though the format war is still undecided, you can't lose with this next generation video drive at a price under $200! The picture is spectacular, the sound is awesome, and having two drives on my XBOX 360 is the only way to go. There have been a lot of people that have complained about the XBOX 360 not having an internal HD DVD player. I for one LOVE that it is not internal for three reasons. First of all, it keeps the price down for people who want an XBOX 360. Secondly, with the uncertainty of the format war currently going on, if HD DVD tanks, Microsoft is sure to offer a Blu-Ray drive instead. With this in mind, you won't have to replace your game system. You can just use your XBOX 360 HD DVD drive as an extra DVD drive for your PC (or sell it) and pickup the new XBOX 360 Blu-Ray drive. Lastly (and MOST importantly in my opinion), I LOVE having a 2nd drive for my XBOX 360. I can keep my movie in one drive and my game in another without having to move my big butt from the couch. This unit (with the XBOX 360) not having HDMI is a mixed bag. On one hand video quality between HDMI and component is nearly indistinguishable, so HDMI is not important. On the other hand, not having HDMI means that you can't have any next generation 7.1 lossless audio (like Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD). Even without the next generation audio, the audio is still spectacular! I wanted a next generation video disc player to use with my new 60" HDTV, but didn't want to end up with a "Beta". Getting the XBOX 360 drive was a safe way to go. I was able to get my drive from Circuit City for only $160 using a $40 off coupon and I'm able to rent (unlimited) HD DVDs from Blockbuster Online so I don't have a library of discs that will collect dust if HD DVD dies. It was a cheap upgrade, and I'm lovin' every minute of it. Don't waste any time, get it!!!

5 Star Review Outstanding!!!!!!!!!

Strengths:

Amazing picture.

Weaknesses:

Nothing

Posted Nov 28, 2006 - www.thedvdwars.com/ind... All the quality with none of the sony DRM. It just makes sense. Blu-ray made so many promises and did not deliver. The consumer is motivated by price and the PS3 can't compete with the modular approach of the X360.

5 Star Review hddvd

Strengths:

1080p picture, one of cheapest options

Weaknesses:

Just don't like having to have 360 on

Posted Dec 4, 2007 - Im sticking with this until a comparable 1080p standalone player is available at a reasonable price. The xbox addon is about half as expensive as another 1080p player , so works for me. Picture looks awesome and my sound system is ancient so the audio issues mentioned in other reviews don't bother me. Recommended

4 Star Review Great bang-for-buck HD-DVD player

Strengths:

Cheapest way to get into the HD-DVD world if you already own an Xbox 360. Extra USB port for the 360. Can be used with Windows. Comes with King Kong HD-DVD and 360 remote.

Weaknesses:

No HDMI output unless you own the 360 Elite.

Posted Jul 22, 2007 - Excellent picture quality even over component video cables. Planet Earth, King Kong, Matrix trilogy... all look stunning. No Dolby TrueHD support, only Dolby 5.1 and DTS. The King Kong HD-DVD (limited time only) included + the Xbox 360 remote is about a $50 value, making the price even sweeter. Easy to hook up, easy to use with the included remote, can be used with Windows for HTPC setup, and adds another USB port to your Xbox 360 setup. No cheaper way to get on the HD bandwagon if you already own an Xbox 360.

4 Star Review Great HD-DVD player for a low price.

Strengths:

It is comptabile with Windows PCs, and provides a maximum output of 1080p.

Weaknesses:

An Xbox 360 is required for non-PC playback. Xbox 360 Elite required for 1080p resolution, otherwise max resolution is 1080i. It does not support latest HD audio codecs.

Posted Aug 8, 2007 - The Xbox HD-DVD drive is a great addon for existing or future Xbox 360 owners. It plugs in by USB cable to the back of the Xbox 360. It also provides an additional 2 USb ports on the back, and has the snap on mechanism for the wireless adapter. It requires AC power. Picture quality is excellent, whereas audio is sometimes lacking due to the fact that it doesn't support PCM or HD audio codecs. Recently, the Xbox supports DTS which is an improvement over Dolby Digital. I am using an Xbox 360 Premium and it is connected via component and optical for audio. I would recommend this product for all current and future 360 owners. But as the price of the standalone players come down, this may not be as good of a buy. I got mine for $120 a few months back, but now the price is $179 from $199, and I consider it a great buy.

4 Star Review Xbox 360 HD DVD Player Review

Strengths:

Produces an absolutely excellent picture and fantastic sound. It's a very small add-on that fits anywhere. It also comes with a remote control and, in my case, King Kong.

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Apr 21, 2007 - If you are looking for a HD DVD Player and already have an XBOX 360 this is a no-brainer. (Unless you are convinced HD DVDs will not last, and they will only be making Blu-Rays). It's pretty cheap and produces stunning graphics. Once you start watching HD movies you will not be able to go back to regular movies. Very easy to install this software on to the 360 and I have had no problems with it.

4 Star Review HD DVD on the Cheap

Strengths:

Portable USB that allows interface with your PC. Price

Weaknesses:

No HDMI

Posted May 8, 2007 - Although we dont know who will win the format wars, I am fairly impressed with the picture quality of this unit. I think this will stay a good investment for a couple of years. With the ability to connect to the PC and the quality and value of the unit, I highly recommend.
