I purchased this product from a second hand dealer, because my Toshiba HD-D3 HD DVD player died on me about a year after light use. (It still reads regular DVDs, and upconverts them, but does not recognize HD DVDs anymore).
I chose to go with the XBOX HD DVD drive becuase (besides having already an Xbox 360 system) reviews here in Amazon made it look like a reliable drive. As I wanted to buy a drive that lasts for many years (unlike the Toshiba) I took the risk with this product.
After a month of use, I can say that the video quality is great (as HD DVD should be!), and the connection/setup to the Xbox 360 was easy and painless.
Durability, unfortunately, is still an unknown factor, but HOPEFULLY it will last for maaaaany years! Hopefully!
Enjoy!
People are getting it all wrong about buying HD DVD players now that Blu-ray won. I can still get HD DVD movies, but now I can get them for under 10 bucks. I got this drive when it first came out, before I even bought a 360. It is picture perfect. Now that I have a console with HDMI output, it looks even better. It's a nice addition, and an affordable way to view HD movies, and yes, Blockbuster still rents HD DVDs through their on-line service. I'm buying all the tittles I can on HD DVD, and all new tittles on Blu-ray. Can't loose with low prices.
This device came in handy when my DVD player broke. The quality of the picture is excellent and I get to watch movies with friends.
They are working on something bigger and better than blu-ray and when or if they decide to release it I'm sure the majority of sales are gonna be HD by that time. So in my opinion Blue-Ray will possibly be just like A-tracks. You may think o I got blue-ray but the shelf-life isn't gonna beat HD at all.
before hd died (RIP) this was an amazing player. I still use it to play dvd's and hd dvds that i still own. Works amazing!!! very clear picture on my 42 inch 1080p tv with hdmi! :-D good thing I have a blu ray player too so I didnt lose nothing buying this before hd died
