Looks like now that 200 is going to be euros, not $$$. That converts to being more in the U.S.

From Xbox-Scene

Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive to cost 199GBP (370USD)
>> From gamesindustry.biz:
Quote:

The Premium Xbox 360 won't benefit from a price cut this Christmas - but instead a HD-DVD and console package is due, spearheading a marketing drive of console bundles available from November.

Retail sources have indicated to GamesIndustry.biz that Microsoft is currently planning to price the standalone HD-DVD drive at GBP 199 (~293EUR or ~370USD), and to package it with two HD-DVD movies. The sources also suggested that Microsoft will bundle the Premium console and next-generation movie player together for under GBP 400 (~589EUR, ~745USD) - and that the price could even be as low as GBP 375 (~552EUR, ~700USD).

It's expected an official Premium bundle will be made available in early November, with a newly released triple-A third-party title included.



Note: I added an USD pricepoint to the article above, but I just converted the currency. The actual prices will probably be lower in USA (due lower saletaxes etc). To give you an idea, the Xbox 360 Pro Pack sells at 399eur (converted that's ~505usd ... so over 100usd more than the official 399usd pricepoint in the USA). So the actual retail price of the HD-DVD addon in North-America will probably be closer to 300USD.

I read that M$ was going to release a bundle for the Holidays to compete with the PS3 that was going to have a premium with the stand alone HD drive and 2 movies to go with it for $700. That would be descent except I dont want another box sitting on my console taking up space. If I wanted another box and be able to watch HD movies I would just buy the PS3 and watch BluRay for the same price.
