Re: Xbox HD-DVD Drive £34.99 at Argos

No luck at Comets website... maybe they have them instores... hmm... How long you guys think that these HD-DVDs are available... the movies I mean... I know they not doing any new ones but are they still producing old ones or is it just matter of selling out the stock and after that they only exist in Ebay - second hand... what you recon? Dont want to spend 40 quid for Drive now and then after half a year its impossibe to find any movies...

Shouldn't really be discussing this in this thread but just quickly please mods , I think you'll not have too much problem getting movies, there's an active trading / selling section on the forums, ebay seems to have lots of them and you can pick up good movies at stupid prices at the moment, £2.99 at HMV. There also seems to be some really good films and if you've got an xbox already it's not taking up hardly any room. I got mine for £29.99 at PC World last Saturday.
