Xbox 360 HD DVD Player

This inexpensive HD DVD option for Xbox game console owners provides weak image quality and only minimal audio options.

HD DVD Player has 192MB of storage to speed access, Inexpensive peripheral for Xbox 360 owners

No HDMI output, Disappointing image quality

Will give you better picture and sound, without the hassle of running two gadgets to do the job of one

Microsoft Xbox 360 HD DVD Drive

If you have an Xbox 360 sitting in your living room acting as a media center, you must get your hands on its external HD DVD drive add-on to complete the full HD experience.

Xbox 360 HD DVD player

Microsoft's Xbox 360 HD DVD player is a great addition for Xbox 360 owners who want to play HD DVDs. Since the player requires the Xbox, for those not interested in gaming, they should consider other standalone HD DVD players.

Microsoft Xbox 360 HD DVD player

This does everything you need it to do and nothing you don't. The software based HD-DVD player / media player is great. It upconverts regular 480p DVD's to 1080p on my Samsung FP-T5084 50" 1080p plasma (See other review). Simply works.

Quiet, easy, effective, inexpensive

Not the most attractive unit. Too awkward in size and shape
