Microsoft Brings Xbox 360 HD DVD Player to $179
In the first news coming out of this year's San Diego Comic-Con, Microsoft today announced it would lower the price of its Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on player from $199 to $179 starting next Wednesday.
The company also noted that it will throw in five free HD DVD titles as an extra incentive, although the selection of titles amounts to a meager 15 offerings. Anyone buying the player between August 1 and September 30 will be eligible for the movies.
HD DVD proponent Toshiba already offers the five-movie deal on its line of stand-alone players. Competitor Sony also doles out a similar coupon with the purchase of qualifying Blu-ray players, including the PlayStation 3, allowing you to choose five free Blu-ray discs from a pool of 21 films.
