Saga(?) of the HD DVD drive

 

My order with Gamestation for the XBox 360's HD DVD drive has just been canceled. I am annoyed that it took them 4 days to tell me, although they did refund me for the drive, the movie I bought and delivery.

I went straight to the Game website, but they are still out of stock. I began to rack my brains for another retailer that I could try and after some time, I tried PC World, Dixons and Comet. I tried HMV, Play.com, Toys 'R' Us and many others, but they were all above what I am willing to pay for what will be a part time and make do solution for my HD needs.

I have reserved a drive and will hopefully pick it up tonight while I'll be looking to buy a HD DVD movie on my lunch break!

Update: Turns out HMV don't really stock HD DVDs anymore. I wasn't sure if they did anyway, but they had the smallest selection for any medium I've ever seen. They had three titles, Transformers, one of the Shrek films and a Mission Impossible trilogy box set. £15, £15 and £30 respectively and I promptly made way back from lunch and ordered Batman Begins for £3.99 on Play.com!
