Microsoft Xbox 360 HD DVD Drive Review

Microsoft has done a good job of providing high definition movie functionality at a very affordable price. Yes, if you add the cost of this drive to the cost of an Xbox 360 it amounts to a fair wad of cash, but if you already own an X360 the price of the drive is pretty attractive.

The amount of noise emanating from the console and the drive can be an issue and the lack of HDMI may be a deal breaker for the movie purist, but then that kind of user isn’t ever going to watch films on a games console anyway. Ultimately though, if you’ve bought an Xbox 360 and an HDTV to go with it, £129 isn’t a lot to ask to add HD movies to your set up.
