Reviews of the Microsoft Xbox 360 HD DVD player

CNET Review
The Good: Excellent image quality on HD DVDs; decent upscaling on film-based DVDs; HDMI output when used with Xbox 360 Elite or newer Premiums; relatively inexpensive compared with standalone models; can access advanced multimedia features, just like standalone players; includes remote; adds extra USB port to 360.
The Bad: Can't decode or pass advanced Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, or DTS-HD soundtracks; no analog multichannel outputs; more expensive than a standalone HD player if you don't already own an Xbox 360; adds more bulk and cables to your 360 setup.
The Bottom Line: The Xbox 360 HD DVD player is an inexpensive way for 360 owners to get high-def movies, but nonowners and audiophiles should stick with standalone HD players.

Review Summary: There's no denying that this is a good-value option, and you also get an infrared Media Center remote control thrown in. If you want to go down the HD DVD route, and your PC can handle it, it's a must-buy.
