Aargh! I just ordered one of these from Amazon on Sunday night at 149 quid. I see they've reduced their own price as well to 120 now. I've just tried to cancel the order, but it says it is too far gone- getting ready for dispatch. I hope I can return it! Damnit.

Email them and they will refund the difference. They refund if the price changes in the first 30 days.

Cheers for the advice- I'll do just that and see what they say!
Also, thanks to Phil-YAI. If you hadn't posted this then I probably would never have known! That extra 30 quid can buy me 2 US hd dvd's now!

I have been tempted by this for a while. There is still great films on HD DVD (Blade Runner in HD is very tempting) but I will wait and see if it goes down to £99.99 and still 7 films.

The 7 film deal stops on the 31st Jan was going to get this myself or even the xbox HD drive but not sure if HD will go the distance

Hey this would be a good deal if it weren't for the fact that Warner Bros stop releasing films on HD-DVD in May. If it weren't for this I'd be getting one of these.

Good thing is, if Toshiba achieve the impossible and manage to gain some kind of niche foothold in the market - their player prices can only go down from where they are now.

When you can get a HD-DVD player for the price of a decent DVD player, you have to ask some serious questions about this pricing strategy and the formats future.

its the same price on amazon.

To be honest at this price its good value even if hd-dvd bites the dust. as you get a great upscaling dvd player with 7 hd films for a very reasonable price.

You only have to purchase the HD-DVD player before the 31st Jan to qualify for the 5 free films offer.
You then have until 29th Feb to send in your form.

If it's anything like the previous offer, then when the current one ends the likelihood is that they will replace it with a different one (different films and/or more films) rather than offer no films at all.

They will just replace it with another offer. The have been doing this offer for over a year know I believe. I settle for 5 different films at £100.

Even with no Warner from June, there is still a lot of HD DVD's released to keep people happy.

Tempting, but clearly an act of desparation, so will only be useful for a while, unfortunately. Wish this wasn't the case, I wanted HD DVD to win...

I'm finding this deal very tempting too. If it gets down another £20 before the end of the month I won't be able to resist.

Same as me mate, I had to bite the bullet and get an EP30 at that price

The 360 add on will be going on ebay or on here to recover around half the cost of the new tosh

Ditto. Mine's going on the bay too.

As a matter of interest what disks are you lot choosing from the list? The only one that I fancy is Children of Men, any recommendations?
