Me too. Although Roberts Checkout said my email address was invalid. (It don't like .us addresses)
Robert,
I'm thinking about the HD-A2 - what's your latest shipping date?
Also people with HD-DVD: which two movies should I get with my order? I thought of Batman Begins as everybody said it looks great... but what's for the other one?
I thought Polar Express was the best I have seen so far. Nothing wrong with Batman( I have that too) it's just a dark movie for the most part.

Has anyone seen a demo of the Xbox HDDVD? I'm just curious if the picture quality is any different than on the standard HDDVD players.
Well, I work for an animation company so that kind of material is all over me...
BB: true but it was highly praised.
I just found out Spy Gameis available - that's such a good movie. I think I'll go with it.
Yep, those are usb. Watched the video in the link above, the short answer is you are using component cables, not HDMI.

I see you offer HD-DVD's also. I was unable to find a link or a way to purchase them?
HD DVD guys are pissing themselves over corpse bride PQ. But I would definately preorder Kong. I think I signed up for an amazon CC and got a 30 dollar credit making Kong free when it ships. That is assuming you arent getting it for free anyway with the 360 HD DVD drive. But Batman Begins has TrueHD and is supposed to be the most complete experience and well as great PQ.Well, I work for an animation company so that kind of material is all over me...

It's USB, as mentioned above. I don't think an external drive can have HDMI on it. Not at this price level!
The reason is simple: HDMI delivers uncompressed video, which means you need to have all video decoding done within the player itself. And currently video decoding is only done within the XBox 360, so if Microsoft is going to put HDMI output somewhere, they've got to put it on the XBox itself, not on the external drive.
I think one reason why Microsoft and Sony can offer HD playback at such a low price is because they are using the main CPU's of their game consoles for video decoding and they are saving money on dedicated decoder chips.
The PS3 is a low price? The 360 + add on is a low price? You can pick up the HD-A1 for under 400 bucks. None of those can be had for under 400 bucks.
You can also use the XBox's VGA cable. This is the only way to get 1080p out of the XBox HD DVD player.
