Kind of a Bargain - 360 HD-DVD with remote
I dunno how many people know that aGamestation is selling the HD-DVD add on for the 360 for £19.99 or £24.99 with any 2 films.
If that is not a good bargain in itself, it comes with an official remote that retails at £19.99 rrp ) thou £14.99 online. The HD-DVD format might be dead but the remote is useful for dvix streaming, and 2 films for £5 is good value even in SD nevermind HD ! That makes the drive itself in the value of £5 !!!!!! And the drive can be attached to the PC too and can be made region free for DVD with AnyDVD. |

Got a second one now. Good for a backup. Too many HD-DVD's to replace and I still like them.

If you do that and then re-attach it to the 360, will it play DVDs from any region or will it revert back to region 2?

I think it'l revert to Region 2 as AnyDVD is a software "bypass" while it is running, and not a firmware hack/flash.

I'm pretty sure it's region free anyway bro, either that or the HD-DVD's themselves aren't region locked.

I'm thinking of region 1 DVDs bro, rather than HD-DVDs. I've got some that won't play on the 360.
