It is official!  $129

The Xbox 360 HD-DVD player is now $129. I am guessing the dramatic price drop Amazon had for a few hours ($79 for a 360 HD-DVD player coming with the choice of 5 free HD-DVDs) made Microsoft decide to make another price drop. Another reason is the Blu-Ray dominance at the moment and Toshiba chipped in to make a price drop happen. 

Well it doesn’t matter how it was done as long as it was. The consumer can now enjoy up to 1080P Hi-Def for $129. (HDMI 360 required)
