Pros

Cheapest High-Definition Movie Drive
If you have an Xbox 360 console and really, really want to jump into the high-def movie bandwagon, this is the least expensive way to go.

Simple Installation
You won’t have to jump through hoops to get the add-on working with your console.

Impressive Movie Playback
If you have an HDTV, you should be impressed with the high resolution video that you will get from the player.

Free Xbox 360 TV Remote And Free Movie
It’s always cool to get stuff free.

Cons

More Desktop Space Taken Up
Because it is an add-on, it will naturally take up more space for your TV and/or home theater set-up.

VGA Cable Needed For 1080p
If you are among the few who have such a TV, you need to pick up an extra set of Xbox 360 cables to get the maximum effect.

No HDMI Support
Unless the rumors of an upcoming second Xbox 360 that supports the connection are real you might be disappointed with the lack of such a jack, and this limits the drive’s market somewhat.

Only A Handful Of HD DVD Movies Around
The selection of movies is pretty sparse at the moment; a number of major movie studios have no plans to support HD DVD.
