    Ah, but with the media server capabilities now, you only need it on the computer!

    Yeah sell the console so you can get a 1TB HDD for storage and a 8600 for full HD acceleration. Your joystick will get as hard as it'll ever get, guaranteed. J/k

    That certainly brings down the price difference by a lot.

    The XBox 360 core version can't go online right?

    You would'nt spend any less than the average joe on the HD DVD player, so you can spare us the cool guy attitude.

    They get a great discount dont get me wrong, but there are certain items that dont get a discount because Best Buy makes no profit on it. I'm not counting tax either.

    I'm 99% sure the HD DVD player for the 360 is one of those items. And I will check with my friends there too, just to make sure Quiggs doesnt pull a fast one

    I didn't have time to check, but I asked one of the supervisors who used to work in media, who also happens to own (or owned, I think he sold it) a 360 with the HDDVD drive. He said it was $172 and change, plus tax for employees. So is it bargain bottom pricing? No. But it's certainly a good amount less.

    Is it worth buying the HD-DVD option for the 360 (if anyone has it)?

    I was thinking about it but I changed my mind about the purchase.

    Do you have a HD television? Or a 5.1/7.1 home theater? If the answer to both of these is no, then don't waste your time.
