That's the player I bought. My 50" Samsung DLP only goes to 1080i, and it's not going anywhere, so I saved $100 by getting the HDA2.<br/><br/>Yes, the 360 HDDVD is cheaper, but based on their strong recall record, I'm guessing it's only a matter of time before that gets some sort of retrofit.

I'm pretty sure you still get the 8 free movies, plus it upscales existing DVD's and as a standalone player, you can still use it if your 360 gets the RRoD. Cost wise, it's not much more than the add on player. As I mentioned before though, it doesn't output in 1080p, just 720p and 1080i.

I'll have the game the day it comes out... and will always have a game. You're in a much better place on the East Coast. <br/><br/>They had tons of Blu Ray signs up at the store I went to today. <br/><br/>I was paying $21 something to Gamefly and getting horrible service, so I just couldn't stay. <br/><br/>I haven't pulled the trigger on the HD DVD drive yet.... I'm just waiting for the right moment. Like the one where my wife won't find out that I bought it. You just nailed it Dan. I’ll have the game the day it comes out… and will always have a game.

I haven’t pulled the trigger on the HD DVD drive yet…. I’m just waiting for the right moment. Like the one where my wife won’t find out that I bought it.

Guess they won't be renting any Paramount or Dreamworks films (sans Spielberg ones) on HD-DVD. I figure they will soon say they'll rent both again...I also think Target will go that way as well.

For $14/month more I get 4 out. And I always have one game also :).<br/><br/>Then again, Stuntman shipped for me Monday and I'm waiting. Still. LOL. $21.99/mo for one out?
