Although there will be no Xbox 360 price cut this Christmas, a HD DVD package will be available in November and will be cheaper than the PS3.

Check out the Headline for more info.

Interesting pricing structure. Although not confirmed I don't think that's too far off the mark.

It's probably not too far off the mark. The price for the drive on its own is a bit higher than I'd have expected though. The bundle is also only cheaper compared to the 60GB PS3, which offers a lot more than that bundle for maybe £25 more (40GB extra space, Wifi, HDMI 1.3 etc.). A closer comparison would be to the 20GB PS3, whenever we get a UK price for it.

The £199 they're suggesting for the standalone player includes two HD-DVD movies.

I agree with you though Lexic, I expected it a little cheaper. Say, £150.

does anyone know how this is going to work? Will it only display HD-DVDs over composite or will it do it via the VGA cable
