Microsoft has now made the pricing of its Xbox 360 HD DVD unit official, not just for Japan but also for North America and Europe. The HD DVD unit will hit the market in the middle of November at $199.99 and as usual we in Europe will have to pay a little more as the figures are the same but the currency is not. €199.99 will be the price of the player in the UK, France and Germany, but it is still a bit uncertain when the player will arrive to Europe.
Those who invest in the external HD DVD player will for a limited period of time get a copy of King Kong on HD DVD and a 360 Universal remote.
We’re now looking forward to the first reviews of HD the DVD unit and at the same time Microsoft’s fall update of Xbox 360 which will bring support for 1080p to really be able to use the HD DVD format.
