Advantages: Upscale standard dvd quality, cheaper than most DVD players
Disadvantages: You need to have the xbox to beenfit from it, standalone and ugly
£20 for a HD DVD Player, you're kidding right? Well, I'm not!
The store 'Game' did a special offer for one week only where they sold the HD DVD players for £20. If you missed out, you'll now have to fork out £40 for one of these.
Now don't get me wrong, I KNOW HD lost the battle to Bluray, but there are stocklists of thousands of HDDVD's still floating around stores, available to rent, some stores such as Zavvi selling them for as little as £5 each, that's cheaper than a normal DVD!
The HDDVD player upscales the quality for any standard format dvd also, so for £20, you get one of the best standard DVD players out there on the market
The quality is frankly superb! My standard DVD's now look a little better in quality, but the HD movies are FANTASTIC!
The only issue I have with this, is that it's a little awkward having it separate to the xbox, would have been great if Microsoft encorporated this with the console, but this kept the consoles price down as not everyone wanted a HD DVD player.
You also get a media remote which is worth £20 alone, so you really had ought to purchase this DVD player.
Summary: Why not for £20? You can HD DVDs for the same price as a normal one!
