The Buzz: Retail sources have revealed that the Xbox 360 HD-DVD add-on will be released in November at £199.
GamesIndustry.biz has learned from sources within the retail industry that the upcoming HD-DVD add-on for the Xbox 360 will go on sale in November, carrying a £199 price tag.
The add-on will come bundled with two HD-DVD movies and will also be offered at a reduced price as part of a Premium Xbox 360 bundle. Packaged together with an Xbox 360 console, the sources suggest that consumers will be paying anything from £375 to £400.
The bundle would appear to be an attractive option, offering around a £100 saving compared to buying the drive separately - it's the current Xbox 360 owners who appear to get the short straw.
Official information regarding the HD-DVD drive is expected to be announced at Microsoft's X06 event at the end of the month.

A low price is better than a package deal. The success of all the movie rental places prove that most people don't care about owning movies. People want lower prices.

So if you using a Xbox 360, basic Playstation 3 or an early HD TV with no HDMI... No HD movies for you! I think companies are keeping a bit quite over this because it's a bit hard to understand for the normal person.
So why are they they doing this? It's because movies are very hard to copy over a HDMI port, so now people will not be able to copy their movies in full HD.
Annoying, and cheeky i know!!

In any case, it is quite common knowledge that HD formats (Movies or otherwise) does not require a digital signal. This is best compared with computer connectors and signals. DVI is digital and VGA is analog, but you can still achieve high resolutions with either. It is the same with consoles and movies, save the DRM\\\'d ICT that is to eventually be applied by both HD consortiums (HD-DVD and Blu-ray). But to say the other signals and connectors \\\'cannot understand HD content\\\' is simply not true.

The more important fact is that the Porn Industry had sided with Blu-Ray and they are normally the deciding factor
