MS Drops Discontinued HD DVD Addon to 50usd/eur
>> From dbtechno.com:
[QUOTE]
Bloomberg is reporting that a Microsoft spokesman has told them that the price point of the external HD DVD player for the Xbox 360 will drop to $49.99.
The reports state that the price cut of the external HD DVD player for the Xbox 360 will go into effect as of tomorrow.

If you still get those 6 free HD movies (offer is valid till February 28 2008 afaik), that's a pretty good offer I guess, even if the format is dead.
For those who already bought a HD DVD player or addon, Amazon.com is still selling 150 HD DVD titles at 50% off RRP.

*Update* Microsoft's PR Blog confirms that not just the US will get the price drop. It should drop in most regions to $49.99/€49.99 (and equivalent local currencies).
They also confirm that the 5 free movie deal is still valid for 4 more days (US only). King Kong is also still included (North America only), so that brings us to a total of 6 free HD movies in the US.
