    Hi guys just after buying a HD TV and looking to buy the HD DVD player. Ive been trying to download 300 HD version for the last week and it keeps failing. Where would be the cheapest place to get it? Is the 5 free DVD offer still open?

    The offer is still on. You can get it in gamestop for €159 afaik. Your download shouldn't be failing, your firewall is prolly on, or the correct ports not opened for your NAT.

    Does the download begin at all? It will work fine on low but you'll need to forward the ports through your NAT if you can't connect at all. More info on that at www.portforward.com

    No leave it at low. How are you connected to live, ethernet or wireless?

    In that case it's probably nothing to do with your connection unless it's dropping. Xbox Live isn't fully back online yet (I couldn't even access the marketplace yesterday) so I'd blame that.
