In case you're still holding out hope that somehow, someway HD DVD will make a last minute comeback and triumph over blu-ray as the high definition DVD format of choice, then has Microsoft got the deal for you. Effective today, the MSRP of the Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on is dropping from $179.99 USD to $129.99. The price drop effects the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. As Microsoft's Larry Hryb points out, once you figure in Microsoft's ongoing five free HD DVD movie offer, which is still in effect until the end of this month, they you've got one hell of a good time to get in on the Betamax of the 21st century!

Sounds like a fire sale has started. For those who might be interested in the add-on, I'd wait a little longer, and I'm sure you'll get one even cheaper.

lol betamax

if thats the case then HD should be better than blu-ray Oo (as betamax was better then VHS)

If you look at sales figures, you'll see that their point is that for those who go out and buy the HD-DVD add-on, their basically pissing their money away and buying a dead format.
