Hey guys know it's dead and all but Gamestop are selling new HD DVD addons for 9.99 not bad if you have an xbox as HD DVD's are only 6.99 on Play.

Think the store on Henry Street is the only ones selling what's left of them in the country.

Dman001

No, all the GS are selling them I think but the Henry St. one is only selling preowned ones.

marknigma

All Gamestops are selling the new drives off at that price great value to be honest

Dman001

There are selling new ones for €10 euro?

godtabh

Does the HDDVD get powered by USB? Or is it a plug in? Like could it be used with my Laptop on train or what ever?

Dman001

It's a plug in.

Are they new or second hand? Really dying to know.

edit:: Oops it says new in the first post

marknigma

Hey Van they are new at 9.99

IamBeowulf

Wow, that's an amazing price! Even just for its upscaling ability! The standard, built-in drive only displays 480p when playing DVDs, but the add-on upscales them to 720p/1080i/1080p.

Kintarō Hattori

€9.99 is that correct? That seems like a crazy price!

I'll be getting one myself at that price.

TomCo

This better not be some kind of joke,
Im totally getting one!

It can be friends with the Betamax player I got off MonkeyFudge (for only €10 less)

savemejebus

To save someone as wasted trip, i was just out at the parkway gamestop in limerick. No HD-DVD drives there.

nevaeh-2die-4

rang up gamestop on stephens green they said hell no there not selling it at9.99.

dez_warlock

Just purchased one at 9.99 in Gamestop Blackpool, Cork.

Denisoftus

They have gone from all shops in Dublin by 9-30 this morning
So I'll wait for Argos offer

Quick one -

I don't have any DVD add-on for my 360, will this €10 thingamebob now let me play DVDs in HD? Or is there something else you need for this to work?

CHEERS!

EDIT Just seen the last post - URK!

The drive will let you play HD-DVD's which are high definition movies on your XBox. It will also upscale your regular DVD's as well as allowing CD playback. HD-DVD's can be gotten from €3.50 upwards on the net so at €9.99 it's an absolute bargain.

Basq

The HD-DVD drive won't upscale your standard DVD's unless you use a HD-VGA cable.

And the standard DVD drive in the XBOX does the exact same degree of upscaling.

But it does do it. Rather handy for when your not using the drive with the 360.

+1

The standard drive also upscales. The DVD regulators force manufacturers to use either VGA or HDMI cables when upscaling. So the HD-DVD drive has no benefit whatsoever.

Just bought it from Gamestop Donaghmede Shopping Centre.

Dman001

Xtravsion are selling them for 9.99. Pity they don't sell/rent HDDVDs.

bennyc

Yeah i got there pretty early. Try the Douglas or Midleton stores. They may have them still.

Skyuser

Is €10 not a bit much for a door stop?

Dman001

You'd pay about a tenner alone for the remote.

jesterhead

Got one in Galway today, ask at the counter.

MrTrebus

so the only real advantage to having this drive is if you plan to buy/steal HD dvds.
it pretty much does the same as the standard drive, for ordinary DVD's !
might have a look anyways
