Microsoft has finally announced that they will no longer continue the manufacturing of Xbox 360 HD DVD Player. Fortunately, they still continue to support and repair for all Xbox 360 HD DVD Player on the market.
It seems that the price of $149 for the Xbox 360 HD DVD is too high for consumers and rumor has it that Microsoft might decide to drop the price down to as low as $49.99 in the not too distant future. So, my advice is to lay low and wait for the price drop, then buy it. There are a lot of HD DVD out there and $49.99 is a good price whatever way you look at it.
