US, Aussie, New Zealand and Canada gamers take note of a price drop to the Xbox 360 HD DVD player. It’s now $129.99 from its previous price of $179.99. I’m not sure why it’s not at $99 now especially considering so many shifts in studio support that just about signal a premature demise of the format. Make sure you read my Truth Serum on format wars discussing a bit about this.
For those of you really considering this now, be advised that you can often find these players even cheaper with a little bit of interweb investigating. Another quick note is that you can still use the 5 free HD DVDs offer with the purchase of an HD DVD player.
