From Slickdeals.

Best Buy has the XBOX 360 HD-DVD drive for $50.

It comes with King Kong and there is a mail in rebate for 5 free HD-DVD movies.

I guess it's a good deal if you have $50 burning a hole in your pocket or if you want to cash in on all the $5 HD-DVD's that will soon be coming.

It's actually not a bad deal for an external DVD drive. Hmmmm....

Sweet!

This is so tempting.

Just keep in mind it's been 3+ months since I sent in the rebate for the 5 free movies. I know people waiting after 5 months. It said 10 weeks on the rebate form.

Ouch that's kinda rough.

The rebate does take a while. The first two offers I submitted took ~13 weeks. I'm still waiting on the third and am into week 15 now.

 

[Golden Monkey]

What? They should have plenty of HD-DVD's ready to roll out the door at this point!

its not dead i tell ya. its still as viable as beta, or laser disc. <sarcasm>
either way, there are still some really good movies only available on hd dvr right now. so its a real good deal. was going to buy one a few months back, so glad i waited.

was gonna jump on this to hook up to my 47" HDTV, but then the comp that I have the TV hooked up to isn't powerful enough to run HD stuff....damn 6800gt.

That's eerie timing.

I thought so. First thing I did after opening the package was posting here.
