Quick question on xbox 360 Hd player

MumboJumbo · 15 Nov 2007 at 00:02

Hey, if i was to buy the Hd dvd player would the games also play in HD or are they not HD and just dvd quality?

Also are HD dvds much more expensive to rent then normal DVDs?

The games are already HD quality. I'm not sure if they'll run in the HD player or not.

As for HD DVD's being more expensive to rent, I'm not sure. I've not checked my local Blockbuster for prices.

The games are HD anyway without the HD-DVD player.

As for renting, I don't think they make a difference to the price if you use a monthly subscription service.

EDIT: Oh and I don't think you can run games in the HD-DVD player, only films.

The HD DVD player is only for the HD DVD's.. You cannot play the 360 games from the HD DVD player. However, you can play normal DVD's from it.

how loud is the HD-DVD drive when watching films?

Its quieter than the fans on the 360. I watched a film yesterday on it and I couldn't hear a thing.
