Nope, the add-on player can't play normal DVD.

siebel, the xbox itself can play dvd, no need to use the hd-dvd addon la

HD market here still small, even though HDTV sets are flying off the shelf.

Anyone bought Matrix yet?

Oooh and btw, The Matrix really rocks on HD-DVD!!

Added on August 3, 2007, 5:36 pmeh guys,i know that if we use xbox hd-dvd add on..we can only output 1080i thru component rite?wat if i use the player with my pc and connect to lcd tv via hdmi cable,can i get 1080p?

Thanks for sharing the info. I didn't know Sharp G7 could do that. For Samsung models, are you referring to their M8 series? 

wahh bro silencer,baru sampai kampung..no streamyx!! 1515 only..damn slow..thanx for the answer..i plan to connect my pc to lcd tv via hdmi from my vga card..juz bought a new lappie,and now toshiba news came out..bankrupt la like this...

Yesterday I was at PC Fair browsing for a new printer, blank discs, and potentially cool stuff (booth babe LOL). Anyway, at the Toshiba booth, I was intrigued by the higher end Toshiba Qosmio laptops, which include a built-in HD DVD drive! They come in 2 variants; the HD DVD-ROM/DVD-RW drive or  the HD DVD-R drive. Both models have an HDMI output so you can watch it on a big screen TV. Too bad I don't have an AV receiver that can do Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD

I haven't really played all that much with the other stuff. Just checked out my favourite scenes, compared it with the standard def side. I'll be on leave for a couple of days, so I won't get to check it out until then. And I still have the Matrix trilogy to check out as well...

PC kenot run hidef lah . AMD XP2000. 4ypo oredi. not plannig to upgrade yet

    me no poison people one. just call it i shiok sendili lah !!

Too bad Malaysia had none official product. Toshiba should consider the "invasion" on Malaysia soon before Sony Blu-ray will win the heart of Malaysian.
Import again
Tax.....
Something I really would like to avoid.

Thanks bro g5sim, I'm checking right now.
Now that's "sui sui" less than 2k

Sigh. I need to ask the opinion of anyone who already has a copy of the 300 HD DVD (and using the 360 as a player). It was only a couple of days ago that I bought and tested the 300 disc. I only tested scene 1 and scene 14-15 in fact. Then I went on my short leave, came back, and wanted to show 300 to a friend. While at scene 14, everything was fine at first. While transitioning to scene 15, the movie started jerking very badly. Then it hanged on me. There was nothing I could do but shut down my 360. When I restarted my 360 and skipped straight to scene 15, it hanged immediately. I also passed the disc to another friend for testing. The scene I mentioned played fine, but in his case, the 360 hanged at scene 17. Now, I have close to a dozen HD DVD movies at this point, and none of them acted like this before. Is my disc faulty, or is there a known problem running 300 on the 360 HD DVD player? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

Ok guys, update: I had tried to call the shop I bought it from (CWF in Cineleisure) to explain the problem. The shopkeeper mentioned that he has not heard of any problems with HD DVD or Blu-ray discs up until that point. He also queried whether I was running it on a player or the 360. I described the full problem to him, and asked whether the store has any return / exchange policies. Understandably, he told me that because such an issue never surfaced before, he'll need to check with his supplier whether anything can be done. I told him that I would lend the disc to a friend for further testing (this was before I posted my problem).

The test results were no better on my friend's 360, so I called the shop again on Saturday morning (after making my first post). The other shopkeeper picked up; I explained my problem to him once again. He suggested that I bring over the disc to the store for checking. I also left him my name, which he recognized. He also made sure to relay my message to his colleague. Fast forward to the evening, I walk in the store; the shopkeeper sees me; immediately brings me to the back and hands me a new copy of 300. For some reason, this surprised me very much, since I have relatively low expectations on how they can help me. Maybe I'm too used to being screwed over product returns?

On to the new disc: I found no such problems as my first disc. I jumped between scenes like monkey on crack, sometimes skipping tracks, sometimes fast forwarding, and sometimes by using the scene selection menu. I'm happy to report that no halting or jerking occurred Though their prices are not the best, I'll definitely get more titles from the store in the future since they've earned my trust and respect.
