Nice one mate, you got any movies for it yet?

360 Hd-dvd
 

Anyone know of a store with this in stock again yet?

Or indeed has anyone heard when they are likely to be back in stock?

Re: 360 Hd-dvd
 

the pcworld link says in stock but i can't find a store where I can collect it at!

Re: 360 Hd-dvd
 

Its been like that for ages now. None of their stores seems to have any.

Re: 360 Hd-dvd
 

Well,, it arrived yesterday morning :)



Sadly not :(


Doesn't seem to come with a free copy of Kong anymore. Although I find Kong overlong & boring, it still would've been nice for a quick demo & then I could've sold/traded it.


I've got a couple of discs on order from Movietyme, but they haven't come yet...

I'm gonna try & pop into HMV in the week & see what they have on the shelf. Most likely cost a lot more than getting them online though.





Doesn't seem to be any stock anywhere.


PCWorld, Dixons, Currys, Amazon, HMV, Game, Gameplay, Gamestation, Sendit..........no stock at all.


Gameplay.co.uk will let you at least place an order for one, to get you in the queue for when they finally get more stock.


Sendit.com will also let you place an order, for when they finally get more stock in. I emailed them about it last week, & was told that they should have more stock by the end of January.

No other sites seem to let you place a backorder for one.


Movietyme have them, although they are selling the US drive (still works, just needs the right power lead). Costs more though, plus..... they use Citylink, & I have read many posts on various other forums from people who had no end of trouble with their Movietyme orders, due to - allegedly - Citylink's service.



I've not found any actual high street shops which have them in stock, at least not in my area. GAME, Gamestation, HMV, Currys, PCWorld, etc......none.


It's only in stock for "Collect@Home". And, as you've found, that's not really accurate, as when you then put your postcode in, it says there aren't any.


It was - very briefly - in stock for delivery on Sat 30th December. I ordered mine shortly after midnight, & then all the stock sold out within half an hour.

HMV and Gamestation are charging between £17.99 and £24.99 on their websites, so I don't expect them to be any more expensive instore.

Re: XBox360 HD-DVD drive
 

My Batman Begins HD-DVD is finally on its way from Movietyme :)

(still waiting on Mission Impossible 3)


However........

I took my HD-DVD drive back to PCWorld this evening.... :( :rolleyes: :mad:


I installed the software (very easy - just pop the disc in & follow the instructions), & hooked it all up.

Lacking any HD-DVDs, I decided to try a couple of DVDs, just to check if the thing actually worked.

Put Aliens in... GRIND WHIRR GRIND WHIRR GRIND WHIRR...

Put V for Vendetta in... GRIND WHIRR GRIND WHIRR GRIND WHIRR...

Put PotC2 in... GRIND WHIRR GRIND WHIRR GRIND WHIRR...


Hmm.

Tried them in the internal drive....all fine.


So, my drive was screwed.


Took it back (5 min walk, so easier than faffing about returning it via the website), & got a full refund. The assistant did initially claim he couldn't refund my delivery charge, but I pointed out to him PCWorld's own Terms & Conditions for returning faulty goods, & one of the other assistants backed me up, so I did get the whole lot back.


Agh.


Now back to placing backorders online again...I wish I hadn't cancelled my Gameplay backorder now...

Damn that sucks.

Re: XBox360 HD-DVD drive
 

My drive is on its way from Play.com just now - i'll let you know if Kong is included - i'll be ****ed if its not.

Re: XBox360 HD-DVD drive

sorry to hear about your drive matt d :(

Re: XBox360 HD-DVD drive
 

BOLLOX!!!!

Its arrived but no Kong DVD - FFS - we didn't exactly get much of a chance with this did we. :mad:

Re: XBox360 HD-DVD drive
 

My HD-DVD drive came today :D



I gave up waiting for the various retailers to actually get the UK drive in stock, so cancelled my backorders, & ordered a US drive from SoftUK.com on Thursday night last week.

Arrived this morning, via CityLink.

Cost a little more (£150 rather than £130), but had free delivery, & came with King Kong.

Set it up tonight.

Unlike the one I got from PCWorld a month ago, this one actually works! :D (well, so far, touch wood).


Watched M:i:III on it tonight. Very nice!
