Microsoft Slashes $20 Off the Xbox 360 HD-DVD Player

On Thursday, Microsoft announced that it would lower the price of their Xbox 360 HD-DVD Player add-on, from $199 to $179, slashing $20 off of the price. To make this deal even more intriguing they are throwing in five free movies, if you buy the accessory between August 1 and September 30.

If you've been waiting for a price drop to buy this add-on its here staring at you directly in the face. Whether you want to add HD-DVD playback to your 360 console, or want a cheap HD-DVD player for your PC (with a little hacking of course) its a great deal, and don't miss out! This could be the push HD-DVD needs to take the lead of the High Definition-DVD wars, but we shall see in the near future, I hope.
