    Bad Points: It's perhaps a little bulky for it's purpose, but it;s about 1/3rd the size of a stand alone player - so not a huge issue.It has the standard 360 colour scheme which is a bit naff, especially if, like me, you have a limited edition halo 3 360.


    General comments: The unit takes a very short time to install and once it's initially installed the device acts just like a part of the 360's standard hardware.

    The drive is a lot quieter than the 360's disk drive so loud noises during DVD (it plays DVDs too) and HD DVD play back is minimal.

    You can keep DVDs in this drive and still play games in the 360's drive so disk swaping is reduced.

    HD DVD's cost next to nothing now. I bought this player and around 100 HD DVDs for about £300. This is much cheaper than the same films on DVD and around 10 times cheaper than similar films on BluRay.

    I would recommend this player to anyone with an HD TV even if you already have a BluRay player. The value represented by the HD DVDs is just too good to miss. I bought series 1 of heroes 5 months ago for £15, and complete series of planet earth for under £20.

    You can pick these up now for £40, and what a bargain, HD films are coming write down in price now, shop around and you could pick them up 5 films for under £30. For those who want an excellent HD picture, but don't want to pay through the nose for a blu ray yet, go grab yourself a bargain, get one of these little beauties, but dont forget go and buy a good quality HDMI cable first.

    The XBOX HD DVD drive cost just £130, you need a XBOX 360 (cost £270 for deluxe version), total of £400. Since the current lowest price of a standalone HD DVD player is £450 and £850 for Blu-ray this must be considered a bargain.

    The drive itself is quite big, slightly larger than a standard external optical drive, it comes with an external power supply (small) & XBOX universal remote, mine also came with a copy of King Kong, but I believe this was a Xmas offer o ...
