HD DVD is dead, Blu-Ray won!

Which means you can get an upscaling DVD player for like... 40 bucks. Well worth it if you have no plans to move on to Blu-ray. (like a lot of people seem to.)

 

It only upscales if you have a 360 with an HDMI port.

I would say good buy except:

1. Your 360 already plays DVD's (even though you're not using that functionality) so I really wouldn't hall it a $40 DVD player.
2. It's a shitty DVD player since it makes your 360 take longer to boot up
3. You won't be able to buy new movies
4. What movies you can buy may be cheap but the selection is crap and it's never going to get better.

Damn! A ninja edit!

1. Again, after seeing dead Xbox and PS2 drives, I don't want my 360 drive to die from the same double duty. (same reason I don't use the PS3 to play Blu-Ray movies)

2. Doesn't seem to affect the bootup time of the 360 at all.

3. I can buy all the DVDs I want.  As for the HD-DVDs, I don't care.  Although it is nice to pick up some cheap HD movies.

4. For what is to me a $40 DVD player (a $40 dvd player that came with a 360 remote and a movie, might I add).  The existing HD-DVD movies on the cheap are just an added bonus.

I give that post a 9.6.
