prices look pretty good, it runs through amazon.com will order from them see if its ok.

*hmm picked up blade runner in the tin for around 35 quid, would have ended up paying more than double that if I ordered it back in january.

seems that they are a third party and simply link you to all the best deals on amazon posted can be a little steep on some of them

1 of Jet Li's Fearless $16.95
Shipping & Handling: $12.29
Your Total: $29.24

Yup, there's bound to be some cracking HD DVD bargains around.

I've just picked up an X360 HD DVD drive and 11 movies on ebay for about 80 quid.

Way I see it, I've picked up the movies for £8 each, with an HD DVD drive chucked in for free.

That'll do me for a good while...

cheers

nice spot Badz, specially Pc World price promise which i mentioned in the other thread. How Cheap are the HD DVDs these days, and are they many a round?, is it much better quality than watching on a HD tv with just a normal dvd?

I bought it as soon as it came out, only have 2 hd dvds....but to have 2 trays is so handy.

Keep a series DVD in, at a marker.

Play a game for a bit, then when I go, put the DVD on without swapping discs or going into the menu system.

Good stuff.

Lets not have the arguement about the fact that its going to be a dead technology - because thats exactly why you can get this bit of kit so cheap now.

Amazon are currently selling this for £35.

However - PC World will price match that plus 10% of the difference. So because they still have it in-store at £115, then the difference is £80 - so they'll give an extra £8 off taking this bad-boy down to a meagre £27.

Dead technology or not - it may be worthwhile at that price as I hear it does a pretty good job upscaling normal DVDs and hopefully HD-DVD will become cheap as chips over the coming months also.

I am pretty sure that there will soon be a stand-alone Blu-Ray device for the 360 - in fact you may see it integrated one in the future now there is a clear winner in the format war, so you may want to take that into account. But again - at £27 surely its worth a try?
