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.
