Where art tho the Xbox 360 HD DVD drives?!
Well the title says it all really lol. Where indeed are they?
I've been scourging the Internet all over to try and find an Xbox 360 HD DVD drive , but it appears no matter what sites you try, Currys, Comet, Amazon, Tescos, Overclockers, Dabs, etc they are all out of stock with these drives. Its almost like they don't exist. I guess the steal of having to pay a meagre 130 quid for a HD DVD drive as opposed to 400 quid is too much of a good thing for UK shoppers, so everyone has been snatching them asap, either that or Microsoft haven't been able to manufacture enough of them to keep up with the demands.
I've even looked on ebay and there are plenty of bidders (who outbid me of course lol!) looking to buy the drive. It certainly is a good thing to get, although with this format war between HD DVD and Blu-Ray does it mean if Blu-Ray wins, will we be all stuck with another dud format (or Betamax, which actually was superior to VHS, but it never caught on). Ah well we'll soon see.
