Just been to my local gamestation, and got a HDDVD drive for my 360, with Troy thrown in for £35.

Wheres the best place to be picking up some cheap HDDVDs?

Also even tho HD-DVD has gone its worth having one of these becuase 1) Its alot quiter than the normal 360 drive when playing DVDs and 2) it upscales your normal DVDs.

I ran a test for that, my TV says 576/50hz whether played through my HDDVD or my xbox.  Always has.  Still think you need HDMI/VGA for upscaling.

Hmmm remember something like that, I run on VGA so should be ok.

Anybody know why the 360s HD-DVD drive has nearly 200mb of flash storage?

Buffering? Flashing Firmware? Future proofing (lol)? Storing bookmarks? Windows Drivers? Cant think of anything else.

"The add-on itself is essentially nothing more than an enclosure for a PC HD DVD drive, along with an internal flash memory module for the HD DVD software to save off data such as user-defined bookmarks."
