Snukadaman,

That's for GH3, not Rock Band.
That makes sense then! For some reason I was thinking that it was just USB controllers in the bundle, not bluetooth!
I remember hearing (i believe it was on major nelson's podcast/blogcast) from the Rock Band developers that they were including a USB hub for the 360. What about the PS3 now that it's only going to have 2 USB ports? In the interview, they said something along the lines of "we're not worried about USB ports on the PS3 because there's already 4 of them"
For all the people making the argument of "the 360 doesn't have a HD movie player..." What about the marketplace?? Anybody heard of WMV-HD? Full movies on a dual layer DVD, in 1080p or 720p with 5.1 audio. VC-1 is an amazing codec!! I've been enjoying 720p WMV-HD movies on my 360 for a bit now, and they look just as good as their HD-DVD and Blu-ray counterparts.

That being said though, $500 for a blu-ray player with an internet connection and hard drive (for the new BD-J stuff and to actually be able to download future firmware updates) with 5 free movies is pretty darn good.

(not quite as good as being able to play them off of a dual layer DVD though! :) )
It looks like they're only going to allow 14k people in there, and you'll have to get a ticket (still FREE) from either the Q box office, or a giant eagle or Macy's TicketMaster location.
Oh man, I want to go see that!! I'm just hoping I can get in and get the glasses! It says there's a limited number of them.

Yeah! Take that hd-dud!!!"

I don't own either format, but, i'm pretty sure you can get an HD-DVD (HD-D2) player ranging from $299 - $450, with the 5 free HD-DVDs. So, I'm not exactly sure what that comment was for.

Idiocracy is an awesome movie!!!! I finally got my wife to watch the beginning of it yesterday!! I love the first 5 minutes with that family tree!
I'll be seeing the movie sometime this week! ATHF is freaking awesome!!! I got at least 10 people hooked on it when I was in college!!! Some people just watch it once and go "that's retarded" my friends did. Then I forced them to watch it again and they loved it!!

I love meatwad! And Master Shake is awesome too!!
I have a question.

"and will also be available as a free HD-DVD to people buying a new Xbox 360 console or the HD-DVD add-on drive at Best Buy from March 20th through April 3rd."

So, is it an HD-DVD, or is it the file format that the xbox will recognize?? If it is a true HD-DVD (not the HD file on a DVD), then what good is it to be included in the Console? Why not just put it in the HD-DVD Player? I'm betting it's the HD file on a DVD.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
