Rumor: Xbox 360 external HD DVD drive price cut - Image 1 


With HD DVD's supporters leaving the sinking ship, it seems only a matter of time before the format will no longer be seen in the market. Still, if there was ever a time to stock up on cheap hi-def movies, now would be a time.

Given that, how much would you pay for an HD DVD player for the Xbox 360? According to a Microsoft mole, it may soon be available for US$ 49.99. Quite a drop from its original US$ 179.99 price tag.

The mole spilled the beans to Ars Technica at the 2008 GDC. The mole is supposedly a very dead-on source of info. He has a track record that includes advanced pictures of the Xbox 360 Arcade system and the news of the HDMI-equipped consoles.

Still, we have to bear in mind that this is still a rumor. It's not so far fetched since Amazon offered a deal on the player only recently. We'll have to wait for official news on this, but it wouldn't be such a bad idea to have a checklist of HD DVD titles you'd want to buy.
