For $125 I would say it is definately worth it. You will notice a pretty big diff playing HD DVD's over SD DVD's on it. And it will eliminate the wear and tear on your 360 drive playing SD DVD's. If you have your 360 connected via HDMI or VGA, the drive does a good job at upconverting SD DVD's as well. Even if you only have it connected via component, SD DVD's still look very good. Do they offer any free HD DVD's with that? It came with KK and a remote when I got mine a year ago so hopefully you get that. Now the addon is $179 new with remote and a mail in rebate for 5 free HD DVD's. I prefer the Toshiba stand alone player over the addon since they are almost half the price now vs. this time last year (around $250 for the A2), but $125 is a great way to get you feet wet into HD DVD...
