This is a little off-topic, but still related to video games and i thought it may be something that lurkers may be interested in.
For anyone who does have an xbox 360 you probably know that the HDdvd add-on has recently dropped price to 179.99. This in itself is a pretty decent deal. But it's also bolstered by the fact that the drive comes packaged with the Universal xbox remote control (MSRP 19.99) and the movie King Kong (normal price 24.99-29.99).
King Kong never really pushed me to pick up the HD drive but until the end of September there is an offer of 5 free HDdvds which you can choose from a List.
This really started to peak my interest and Best Buy, this week, pushed me over the edge. BB has a deal this week where if you purchase the HDdvd drive add-on you will also get the 300 HDdvd for free.
Total deal:
HDdvd drive
Universal Remote
King Kong
300
+5 HDdvd of your choice from the above list
(My personal choices for the 5 i think will be Blazing Saddles, Sky Captain, Chronicles of Riddick, and Casablanca. I'm a little bit torn between We Were Soldiers and U-571 right now. I think i may be leaning a little bit towards We Were Soldiers though.)
Any way if you happen to have the 360 and have interest in getting into the HD dvds this week is probably the best possible deal you can get.
