Why spend $500 for a HD-DVD player? The answer is very simple: To eliminate background noise. XBox 360 doesn't has HDMI, which means it has to use DAC to convert signal to analog from digital. With so many electronic components packed within a small box, I doubt there is no picture quality degradation (Same problem happened on 1st gen PS2). Yes, it's not a bad price IF people already own XBox 360, but what's the point if the picture quality can't deliver what it supposes to? Currently, HD-DVD/Blue-ray are selling to enthusiastic and high-end market, which put video quality over the price, I don't think people who fall into these 2 categories will complaining about $500 price tag as long as they deliver the picture quality.
