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

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

    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

    Gamestop Crescent had a New one at 9.99 which was reserved sadly.
    They also had a used one at 7.99. I went for that and discovered no remote and no King Kong in the box.
    I was going to give it back when I plugged in the unit and pressed open and lo and behold there was a copy of Transformers HD-DVD in there!!!.
    Whoever traded it in forgot to take it out of there!!!.

    I reserved the one in Gamestop Crescent Limerick but I don't want it now. If anyone does want it just go in and quote the name Jason Ryan.

    Ah, I did see the name Jason on it.
    Anyways, I just scored again.
    I realised from re-reading the thread that Xtra Vision had them as well.
    Rang, 1 left and snatched it up for 9.99.

    Total Haul today :

    2 Xbox 360 HD-DVD drives(1 new, 1 used)
    All leads for both
    1 Xbox remote
    1 copy of Transformers HD-DVD

    Total spend 17.98

    Thanks a million to the OP.

    No, I was mistaken about King Kong, that was an earlier version of the bundle.
    However, I managed to get a Transformers for picking up a used one.
    Might be worth a punt if any used ones are about, people leaving discs in there!.

    Just had one put aside for me in xtra-vision. do you need any kind of special cables or anything to make it the best quality.

    I know HD-DVD is dead but for a tenner you can get a fair amount of cheap movies that have already been made in High Def.

    Hmnn I don't think they are making anything. There is obviously alot of drives and with HD-DVD being dead and gone they are off loading them now while there is still some interest. I'd suspect they are making a big loss on them.
