It's too bad they still haven't fixed all of the many problems that the add-on has had since launch...
problems?
i've got nearly 30 hd-dvds and have had 0 problems running any of them in 1080p.

When I had one I had problems with audio sync on almost every movie. With some movies (Batman Begins, for example) the audio lag was so terrible that the movie was unwatchable. It was not my receiver's fault either.
I haven't had a 360/HD-DVD add-on since January though, I don't know if they've fixed that particular problem.
The HD-DVD drive did have problems recognizing some discs also, if I recall correctly.

I also had no problems with the HD-DVD player whatsoever. I've also heard very few negative reports about it, I claim user error,

Epsilon seems like that are user issues, there are very few reports of issues with the HD-DVD addon.
However the most common is that someone put i blu-ray disc in it ^^.

Just because some people arent having the problem doesnt mean others are not!!! It seems to be more of an inconsistancy with the dvd as other players are having trouble with the disc too. Harldy new though. This has been the showing since day one of BR and HD-DVD, inconsistant players and discs.

Other than occasional freezes this has been my first problem with the HD DVD player. Then again, I've only tried the eight that I own.

Joking aside, it's a cool movie... Hope it is something they can fix with a dash update (or some other update means)...

If it's a hardware issue, I wonder what specifically is happening. Is it not executing the code, or is something crashing?

To those of you Xbox 360 HD-DVD owners who claim they have noticed no bugs or problems whatsoever with their systems, I ask you the following question: Have you not noticed that the console (in its double drive environment along with the HD-DVD) is occasionally confused as to the state of its drives' disk trays? Specifically, this confusion will occasionally manifest itself after you've inserted a game or movie in either drive, with the dashboard indicating that the tray is opening or closing when, in fact, it is already in a closed, stationary position. This is a fairly well-documented bug. Has anyone here not witnessed this bug since connecting their HD-DVD to their Xbox 360?
No issues with the XBOX 360, HD DVD Player or the Dashboard yet...

oh boy! I can hear the $ony fanboys laughing right now. Hopefully this is just a one time deal.
They can't say a word.
Try playing "The Descent" on a PS3. That's a fun time.

I have the HD DVD Drive, I just watched children of men hd dvd last night bought from Best Buy, and yes I watched the HD side, not the regular one. No problems! Must be an intermittent issue, perhaps in the pressed discs themselves, not the HD DVD drive.
Thats actually a pretty resonable idea. Has anyone with a HD-DVD that doesnt works tried it on another type of HD-DVD or another console.

I have 2 xbox hd dvd drives... one (which I bought last month) took 5 tries to read it, then I made the mistake of stopping the movie only to find that it wouldn't read it again (30 more tries). Popped it in my other drive (bought at drive launch) & it worked perfect first time. I suspect it's the combo discs because Hollywoodland did the exact same thing on the 2 drives, and no other disc gives me trouble.
So one reads it, and one doesn't? Are both hooked to the same 360 for testing?
