Found a few different sites selling the HD-DVD Drives. You may want to check stock levels, as these drives are selling like hotcakes. It will work with a PC, so therefore you do not need to have a Xbox 360 in order to use this. Decided to consolidate the links, or else the whole site will be filled with HD-DVD posts! :) Will add more as I come across them.

Yeah, too many of them. It will only get crazier once everyone tries to offload their stock. The drive is worth it, as it comes with King Kong HD-DVD and universal remote. Handy even though you don’t watch HD-DVDs.

sorry i’m a bit of a noob with this stuff, but is it possible just to hook this up with an LCD tv w/out Xbox or PC as a standalone HD DVD player??

ie. plug component to component?

stonedewok, no you cannot hook it up directly to a TV. It’s designed for an XBOX 360. With some hacking about you can get it to work on a PC (but you need to know what you’re doing). It may only be a matter of time before standalone HD-DVD players for TVs are reduced, but I’d say stock levels will be low since many retailers are arranging returns with suppliers instead of selling the stock to consumers.

HD-DVD players have already been dramatically reduced, and probably will be even more so in the scramble to get rid of them.

Check out the current prices for the top-of-the-line Toshiba XE1 for example.

Is the hi-def site secure??

Does anyone know if these HDs enhance, in any way, ordinary DVDs played in them, like some of the HD-DVD players?

I’m pretty sure most people are aware of it, hence they are picking up a cheap HD-DVD/DVD player with remote!

DSE has the drive for $49.95 now. JB sells it for around $48.
