Damn, that is a hell of a deal. I wonder how many people swooped in on that before they sold out.

Who is this a victory for, the 200 people who were able to buy one for this price?... You're acting like this is a new selling point or something... The sale is already over with (probably was before you even posted this topic)...

EDIT: Yes it would appear that by 0600est they were already sold out...

You forgot that console owners don't watch movies.

Psst, you need to buy a 360 first

That sucks.. I was ready to buy into HD DVD when I saw the subject (I'm serious, NOT being sarcastic).

For 80 dollars I would buy a HD DVD player just to watch the handful of titles on the format I'm interested in..even if it was the cheapo players that don't do 1080p.

I don't own a 360 though, and as others have said..they are sold out. I'm actually slightly disappointed...the subject line had me sold!

80 dollar hd dvd player = Other electronic manufacturers flee from the format since there is no way to make money of it.

No you don't.

The 360AO will also hook up to a PC as well.

Dude how many treads do you open a day? Seriously and yes you need to own an 360 or watch on your PC. How does this end the format war? It doesn't, you open threads like this every day. Getting a bit repetitive.

Acutally, no. These can be hooked up to a Media Center PC to use as just a movie player.
