    Hmmm, I wished we didn't get shafted in the UK by this match £ for $ pricing. In the US they are $49.99 (£25). Out of interest (because I have never used one) are they strictly region locked like standard DVD? As Blu-ray on the PS3 allows me to watch any region disc. Mine is a Japanese version so there might even be a regional difference between machines (if you catch my drift).

    May still try and obtain an NTSC unit as I am sure the US selection of titles is better / larger than European, if previous formats are anything to go by.

    I'm gunna try to hunt one down sometime, but yesterday I checked 4 stores, all rang up at 150$. It's like this area just doesn't follow anything correctly. Big sale? Well, fuck me, it's not happening here.

    But it doesn`t matter which you get as you can play them all any any format NTSC/PAL unit

    Apart from cheaper unit cost, but then you would have to have an NTSC 360 to run it through if I remember correctly

    There is no region lock on the machines or disks, but I am sure if you have a NTSC HD DVD unit it will only run via a NTSC 360 and the same for PAL

    There are loads of sellers on amazon.com, but s`pose time you add postage, just as well to buy one here

    Well another good reason to get one is you can use it on your PC.

    just got my drive from amazon yestaday, £34.99 with free postage. I have no films for it yet but I know the drives will sell fast at that price.
