XBOX 360 HD DVD DRIVE FOR £27 - YUP!!!!
Lets not have the arguement about the fact that its going to be a dead technology - because thats exactly why you can get this bit of kit so cheap now.

Amazon are currently selling this for £35.

However - PC World will price match that plus 10% of the difference. So because they still have it in-store at £115, then the difference is £80 - so they'll give an extra £8 off taking this bad-boy down to a meagre £27.

Dead technology or not - it may be worthwhile at that price as I hear it does a pretty good job upscaling normal DVDs and hopefully HD-DVD will become cheap as chips over the coming months also.

I am pretty sure that there will soon be a stand-alone Blu-Ray device for the 360 - in fact you may see it integrated one in the future now there is a clear winner in the format war, so you may want to take that into account. But again - at £27 surely its worth a try?
