can it write HD-DVDs ? If so, a 2k HD-DVD writer is definitely a good bargain, just like the 2K DVD Writer of 3 years ago.

^Of course it won't write HD-DVD's.It's the add-on HD-DVD drive for the 360 which could only playback HD movies.

that means 5 movies and a movie watching drive for 2k ? not a bad deal, but the problem is simple. If I can't write that movie to another disc for backup, whats the point ?

and those 5 movies may be anything. How can I be assured that the 5 movies I get are all brand new blockbuster movies ?
