Well, at least my Christmas Present has a bit of a use. The Toshiba player I had came with two free HDDVDs in the box (300, and The Bourne Supremacy), but they also had a mail-in offer to get five free discs.

So, I got them in the post today - Children of Men, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Full Metal Jacket, Swordfish, and World Trade Centre. Free!

So I’ve now got around £175 worth of free discs (that is, if each disc was priced at £25 which most of them are at HMV), and the player cost £180, so…I basically got an HD DVD player for £5. Neat.
