Kind of a Bargain - 360 HD-DVD with remote

If it's 2 x Blu-Ray for £13 each or two HD-DVD's and a player for £26 then it doesn't matter which you buy, then you could pick up some more films for half the price of the Blu-Ray now.

A 10p VHS player is a bargain, I still wouldn't touch it with a 12 foot barge pole. Spending £300 on a PS3 is a far better purchasing decision than spending £20 on obsolete, redundant tech.

Not at all, because unlike VHS, HD-DVD is comparible with the £300 PS3's Blu-Ray in EVERY SINGLE WAY, so £20 is an absolute bargain. It's not a good bargain of course if:

a) You don't like movies
b) You prefer poor pictures
c) You don't like movie extras
d) You prefer lesser sound
e) You don't like free stuff

:rolleyes:

You can only watch what films are out now, its not as if you can do anything with it in the future, tis a good price still but as said above a dead format that you can't get any new films on.

Because the 100+ movies that are out aren't enough?

Let us not forget recent films such as Stardust and Transformers are on HD-DVD, so it's not like you're stuck with old films. Watching all these in HD has got to be worth £20 for the player, which as said, with remote and 2 movies is basically FREE.
 
how come HD-DVD is dead anyway ? it was 'Blueray vs HD-DVD' at one point, both being basically the same, so how come HD-DVD has died and not blue ray ?

(i havnt really checked much for last couple of months so my knowledge is down :p)
 
The companies supporting HD-DVD pulled out. Then it was game over.

I love my HD-DVD player, and i payed the full amount. I used to collect DVDs and buy one nearly every week, but i swore i wouldn't do it with HD. I only have a handfull of titles but they are keepers.

There are loads of great films out there to choose from. Its a bargain.

cheaper in a lot of cases than their SD counterparts, i'm going to get about 8 or so next payday, films i've been meaning to get but can now justify them at £5 each ^^
 
Its a good price and a bargain for what your getting, but i would have a few reservations. First of all, like others have said HD DVDs are very cheap to buy at the moment and have a nice collection available, but I wouldnt want to spend money on HDDVDs if in the future i was intending to buy Blu-Ray, as i wouldnt want to keep wheeling out my old HD player to play some old film that in a year or so times will be as cheap to get on BD. Also what happens in a couple of years down the road if the HD Drive breaks? Could you get a replacement player? If not you're left with a pile of unplayable HDDVDs only good enough to sell on the bay. I know for now its a good deal, but i get the feeling that it will be a waste of money in the future buying loads of HDDVDs.
 
I bought 4 films just 2 weeks ago from a high street music store for just £5 each. Can't beat that tbh. I've been re-watching my hd-dvd collection this weekend and forgot how stunning the format could be when it comes to extended features. U-Control f t w!
 
So far myself and thee colleagues have bought one of these just for the remote. Gonna stick some HD discs on my lovefilm account as I don't see the value in buying discs I'll probably never watch again.

Well worth the 20 quid IMO
 
I found one deal but it wasn't with a remote, hd player and 3 films for £29.99, would appreciate a email if thats allowed.
