Is $30 reasonable? 

[Woodsea]

Actually no, $25 with the King Kong, plus a guarantee that it works under USB is a deal.  I have a "new one" that I bought for $34, and the USB was not working.  Every few months these come up for about $30.  The last great deal was a few bucks more with either Heroes or BattleStar Galactica 1st season in HD. 
It is supposedly a nice drive, my paper weight will hopefully be part of an HTPC soon. 
HD-DVD isn't dead, it just has no life after 2007.  So for 30 or 25 bucks, and the great deals on HD discs it is a great way to build up a library.

Does it also upconvert regular DVD's?

Does it also upconvert regular DVD's?

Yes, it up converts regular/standard def dvd's.

The following is some additional info from a review.

A little Q&A:

Here are some questions (and answers) about the Xbox 360 HD DVD player that people have asked on the Xbox.com forums.

Q: Will the HD DVD player upconvert current DVD titles

A: If you use component cables, the player will not upconvert DVD titles. If you connect a VGA cable between the 360 and the TV set, you can upconvert your DVD titles to 720p, 1080i, or 1080p - depending on what your TV supports

Q: What resolutions can the HD DVD player play back HD DVD titles at?

A: If your 360 player is connected via component cables, then you can play back at 720p or at 1080i. Update (11/25/2006) - If you have an HDTV which supports 1080p over component, then you can view 1080p from your 360 via the HD DVD player (but no upscaling of other content mind you). If you are connected via the VGA cable, then you have the option of displaying HD DVD titles at 1080p. AGAIN - this is assuming your television set supports the resolutions in question.

Q: Will the HD DVD player play back regular DVD titles?

A: Yes!

Q: Is the HD DVD player noisy?

A: Not at all. I don’t even think I can hear it when it’s on. Once the movie is going, I definitely don’t hear a thing!



Asking price is $25 plus what ever shipping & insurance you desire.   

This appears to be a very good price.  I just skimmed Amazon and the used ones were all in the $40 to $50 range.
