are you talking about the 360 or the original xbox if so with the original you need a dvd playback kit it cost around 20-30usd new and cheaper than that used.but if it is the 360 you need nothing ready to go out the box.and you can work the dvd player with the controller
Im talking about the elite with HD DVD . Cos HD DVD looks better than blu ray , but you cant get all movies in HD DVD so i hv to be stuck with dvd-r movies
the elite does not have built in hd dvd its a 179.00usd add on and that is cheap for a good hd player.and it comes with a remote it will also upscale your current dvds to make them look very nice not hd nice but nice still.
