With a simple set up, nice design, and excellent price, the HD-DVD attachment for the Xbox 360 is a superb value for those looking to dive into the next generation of DVD. If you're willing to give an unproven format a chance, this is the way to do it. Annoyances exist, though these barely detract from the product as a whole. In the box, you'll find the rather small HD-DVD player, install disc, a USB cable, AC adapter, Universal Media Remote, and HD-DVD version of Peter Jackson's King Kong. To get up and running, the install disc needs to be inserted into the 360 itself. This runs through a small software update once the player is connected.
