Default Offical Xbox HD DVD Add-on MSRP $129.99

It's not the $80 that was offered today on Amazon but it's still a decent price cut.

This would have been a good move in Oct/Nov last year. Now that Warner has abandoned HD DVD and the A3 is readily available in the $130 range, this new MSRP still seems too high.

Microsoft could've helped hd dvd with a price cut to $129.99 to start quarter 4 2007.

Why would anyone buy the add-on over a hd dvd standalone now?

If they want 1080p but don't care about audio... And long term they don't plan on watching movies anyway or else they would buy a blu ray player.

Gamespot reported that news here too: http://us.gamespot.com/news/6185662....ewstop;title;8

The funny thing is, they even linked to the youtube video 'The Downfall of HD-DVD.'

That's hilarious.
