Re: X360 HD-DVD add on in Germany

Ooh, that is tempting. Especially as mine has picked up a fault which means I have to get a paperclip into the tray everytime I went to get the disc out!

Re: X360 HD-DVD add on in Germany

Anyway, but the bullet. Stumbled through the menus, there didn't seem to be any other delivery options - so i'm hoping it arrives! And lets hope it is actually a HD DVD player!

Re: X360 HD-DVD add on in Germany

Thank you have ordered! An absolute bargain if it comes through

If you're already registered with another of the amazon sites navigating and ordering should be nice and simple! I added a film while I was at it as well, as postage stayed the same, got myself "Das Parfum" has an english soundtrack and looks good in my opinion.

Bargain :D Thanks for posting!

If you need any more translating: http://translate.google.co.uk/translate_t?langpair=de|en

(Comes with remote as well)

Re: X360 HD-DVD add on in Germany

Thanks for the heads up on this.

Cheers to muddyfox for the navigating tip as I was bamboozled on the German site.
I had to go onto the UK site, add an item then went through page by page going from UK to German site as it's all the same layout.


Mine was the same:

Article: EUR 8.40
packing & dispatch EUR 6,00

Sum total without VAT.: EUR 14.40
VAT.: EUR 2.52


Cheers guys/gals

I have only ordered from amazon.de once before and they canceled, but they canceled within a couple of hours because they said what I ordered was priced wrong, I think that this order should be sent out as I ordered it yesterday.

Nice. Mines not moved, hopefully tomorrow we'll see some movement. Given I ordered it before the HUKD crowd got involved I'm quietly optimistic.

Planet earth for 20 euros by chance? That was my spot too, they cancelled on all of us.

The funnny thing is is that I didn't think they shipped h/w ouside germany, I tested (I think) the xbox drive when it was 40euros but it wouldn't accept it to uk a address, maybe 10 euros is below a threshold?

Re: X360 HD-DVD add on in Germany

Mine has been shipped and has left the depot. Scheduled for delivery on Thursday (my day off :D)

Thanks OP, much appreciated! Very good deal. I was pretty happy as they put up the price of 'Das Parfum' soon after I ordered it 2 HD DVD Drives and 1 Movie for 38Euros, seems pretty good to me

Gonna sell my ep30 now, and have a collection of these for my pc.

Re: X360 HD-DVD add on in Germany

XBOX 360 HD-DVD Drives are £10 at GameStop.

The only GameStop shops in England are the Birmingham Bullring and Stockport, but if you're in Ireland then there's loads of stores according to the website.

Re: X360 HD-DVD add on in Germany

I've just received the order I placed on Sunday as I got them shipped to my works Frankfurt address, who then sent them to myself via the companies office pouch

26 euros for 2, a proper bargain and I still feel HD-DVD has a lot to offer.

Re: X360 HD-DVD add on in Germany

Mine just turned up, that's quick, my last amazon.de order (couple of Hd-DVDs) took about 3 weeks.

Its comes with remote and german plug, but that's seperate to the adapter which takes the normal 2 pin connector which I've got loads off so no problem there.
