Okay, so Microsoft didn’t cut the price of the XBOX 360, but yesterday they did something close - starting on August 1, the HD-DVD Player addon will be available for $179, instead of $199.
In addition to that, they are offering 5 free movies, in a promotion similar to the Blu-Ray one (and identical to the one Toshiba has been offering). Buy the player, and you can choose 5 movies from this list, which will be mailed to you who-knows-when:
- Apollo 13
- Blazing Saddles
- Casablanca
- Chronicles of Riddick
- Constantine
- Dukes of Hazzard
- Four Brothers
- Tomb Raider
- Perfect Storm
- Rundown
- Seabiscuit
- Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow
- U2: Rattle & Hum
- U-571
- We Were Soldiers
Umm, I see 2, maybe 3 movies I’d actually want to own in that list (and no, not Dukes of Hazzard). But still, if you have a 360, don’t plan on getting a PS3, and want to get in on HD movies, now may be the time (well next Wednesday anyway). The movie promotion will last for 2 months.

I’d go with Constantine and the Chronicles of Riddick…maybe Apollo 13 too.
Constantine and Chronicles are two i wouldnt go with. However, the selection list is poor anyway.
