Ratings: Microsoft Xbox 360 HD DVD Player

Build Quality: 86
• Apparently made of plastic, although the heft suggests the right stuff is inside

Value: 94
• If you own a 360 or plan to buy one , $200 to bring yourself into the HD DVD age is a steal

Features: 80
• It's an HD DVD drive with a repurposed DVD remote: there's nothing fancy about it

Performance: 89
• Transforms the Xbox 360 into a mighty HD DVD–crunching machine

Ergonomics: 83
• The hard controls (an eject button) couldn't be simpler; remote operation via the 360 could be

Overall Rating: 88
I wouldn't recommend that the HD DVD–curious buy the Xbox 360 and this supplemental drive instead of a standalone player, but it does provide extraordinary gaming and multimedia options.

Good day! The Xbox console is, in my opinion, one of the most popular gaming platforms in the world and is used by many people. Xbox is known for its exclusives such as Halo, Gears of War, Forza, and Sea of ​​Thieves. These games often receive high marks from critics and users.
