HD DVD player prices are only going up, if the European players are indication, and they've only managed to produce news for one non-rebadged player from LG. Meanwhile, there will be several players coming from the BDA, one of which is highly likely to at be near $500 (not counting the PS3). BD releases with advanced codecs have been released, and DL releases are headed our way.
"But what about the cheap 360 addon?" you might ask. Yeah, well it's not cheap if you add the cost of the 360 to it, and by all indications it's using a USB connection that isn't HDCP-compliant, going to a 360 that can't decode anything higher than DD and possibly DTS cores.
