Microsoft
has slashed the price of its HD-DVD drive accessory for the Xbox 360 console
from $179.99 to $129.99.
The $50 reduction is effective immediately in the US, Canada, Australia and
New Zealand.
The new price still qualifies users for five free HD-DVDs when they purchase
the Xbox accessory or any
Toshiba
HD-DVD player or HD-DVD enabled Toshiba notebook.
A Microsoft spokesman told
vnunet.com that there are
"no announcements to-date of the price drop coming to the UK or Europe".
Some commentators view the price cut as a desperate move by Microsoft to
revive the HD-DVD brand, following
moves by producers and
retailers to side with the rival Blu-ray format.
