Re: Official Blu-Ray & HD-DVD Thread

Question for you Xbox 360 HD-DVD owners. Does it come with some sort of media remote? When I sold my original Xbox 360 on eBay, I parted ways with my controller thinking I would never need one again. Now after getting a 1080p TV, I'm really wanting the HD-DVD add on. Also, is there anything else that I'll need that is not included in the box, ie; cables, etc.?

I use to own the 360 hd dvd add on. It comes with the 360 remote. If you want to upscale dvds you will need vga cables or hdmi depedning on your tv.

Question about the 5 free HD DVDs that come in mail with the 360 add on...Did anybody get any kind of confirmation when you sent your rebate in the mail? I think it said something like 6 weeks but I was just making sure tha recieved it.

I'm not laughing at you, but the 6 weeks that they promise. I sent mine in around March for the 5 free movies and I received them about 3 weeks ago.

Sweet, thanks.

Picked up Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Phantom of the Opera, and Blood Dimaond for 33 bucks shipped. They still gave me the 10% off the total price of $60, so 6 bucks off, then I got Blood Diamond free.

The Bourne movie was out of stock (so it wasn't ringing up eligible), and nothing else really peaked my interest. I was hoping Children of Men would work, since it's not on either list, but it didn't.
