Pick the HD-DVD Player That’s Right for You

Pick the HD-DVD Player That’s Right for You

Bring your home theater experience to a new level with an HD-DVD player. Watch your favorite new releases and classics (from studios like Warner Brothers, HBO Video, New Line, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios, and The Weinstein Company) on HD-DVD in high-definition 1080p or enjoy the standard DVDs you already own in 480p. You can choose from a wide variety of HD-DVD players on eBay, including Samsung HD-DVD players, Toshiba HD-DVD players, and Pioneer HD-DVD players. Popular options are:

• Standalone HD-DVD players. HD-DVD players have attractive looks to fit into your home theater setup. Many HD-DVD players will also play back MP3 music or JPEG photos burned to DVD or other types of discs such as CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs.

• Xbox 360 HD-DVD player. To turn your Xbox 360 video game console into an HD-DVD player, look for the Xbox 360 HD DVD player add-on.

• PC HD-DVD players. To play HD-DVDs on your computer, look for PCs that include a HD-DVD player. For playback and to expand your storage—HD-DVDs can hold 30GB of data, compared to 4.7GB on standard DVDs—look for a PC with a HD-DVD burner.

If you’re adding an HD-DVD player to your existing home theater setup, make sure your A/V receiver supports HDMI and has open inputs and outputs. Many HD-DVD players also have composite, S-video, component, analog audio, analog surround, digital audio coaxial, and digital audio optical outputs.

Sellers on eBay describe HD-DVD players in their item listings, calling out supported formats, discs, and outputs as well as if any cables are included. If you have questions, get them answered before bidding by clicking the “Ask seller a question” link under the seller’s profile.

Buy HD DVD Players With Confidence

Before making your purchase, make sure you know exactly what you're buying, research your seller, and understand how eBay and PayPal protect you.

Know your purchase

Carefully read the details in item listings.

• Figure delivery costs into your final price. If you spend a lot of money, make sure the seller will insure the item when it ships.

• If you want more information, ask by clicking the "Ask seller a question" link under the seller's profile.

• Always make sure to complete your transaction on eBay (with a bid, Buy It Now, or Best Offer). Transactions conducted outside of eBay are not covered by eBay protection programs.

• Never pay for your eBay item using instant cash wire transfer services through Western Union or MoneyGram. These payment methods are unsafe when paying someone you do not know.

Know your seller

Research your seller so you feel positive and secure about every transaction.

• What is the seller's Feedback rating? How many transactions have they completed? What percentage of positive responses do they have?

• What do buyers say in their Feedback? Did the seller receive praise?

• Most top eBay sellers operate like retail stores and have return policies. Do they offer a money-back guarantee? What are the terms and conditions?

Buyer protection

In the unlikely event that a problem arises during your transaction, eBay and PayPal are there for you.

• Pay safely with PayPal: PayPal enables you to pay without the seller ever seeing your bank account or credit card numbers. In fact, PayPal protects buyers 100% against unauthorized payments from their accounts. Plus, with PayPal Buyer Protection, your purchase can be covered up to $2,000.
