HD DVD Player Now $49.99
Ignore the fact that there are people and websites around saying that there’s no point in owning an HD DVD player. I’m here to tell you that there is a point and with a $50 price, it’s beyond a steal especially when you consider the 5 free HD DVD movies offer still applies. You can find the price at Best Buy, Wal-Mart and other retail chains. Naturally, going forward there won’t be much, if any at all, production on the format but that doesn’t change the fact that there are still several movies in high defintion worth owning.
I don’t think that Toshiba or Microsoft or any HD DVD supporter somehow magically stopped all existing movies or players from working. Call it what you will but I just purchased my mother one. There are quite a few movies in high definition that she can now enjoy for a ridiculously low price. We’ll cross that future HD movie barrier when we get to it. For now, I plan to enjoy this price and investigate the catalog of movies-to-own soon.

A cool thing is the creation of your own HD content. If you can record an produce your own shows in HD, then snap your set. Yes a nice collection of existing titles is available and its hard to beat that price. Snap you can play standard DVDs through it too, so its going to be a nice player in that respect as well. Will I buy, more and likely not, but its very, very tempting at this price point.

Anyone have the 5 free movies link? I thought it expired in early Feb or something?? Or is the form in my box? (I just picked it up over lunch, haven’t had a chance to open the box!).

Like I keep saying, its a smart purchase if only for the intention of just playing dvds. It keeps the wear and tear off your game drive if you just so happen to watch an extensive ammount of movies.
