360 Elite + 7 HD-DVD Movies + HD-DVD Player = $599

If you think HD-DVD is dead, you are only fooling yourself. In an effort to keep things moving smoothly, Amazon has announced a sweet deal that includes an Xbox 360 Elite, Xbox 360 HD-DVD player and seven free HD-DVD movies. The deal works like this: You purchase the console, it already includes King Kong, but Amazon’s deal also includes 300. On top of that, there is a voucher for five free HD-DVDs, which brings the total up to seven. It’s times like this when I wish I needed a new Xbox.

The $599 price is certainly interesting given that it’s identical to the 80GB PS3 model which includes the Blu-ray player and this package seems geared for the movie inclined. Then again, you can always get a clearance 60GB PS3 with Blu-ray for $100 less than this bundle. Of course, we don’t buy our systems for movies, we buy them for games, and in that department y’all can choose who’s ahead at this stage.
