Works with My Xbox 360

"Just to let others know, I purchased and it works on my Xbox 360 with both the HD DVD side and the DVD side."
Absolutely stunning!

"This is, by far, one of the best virtual aquarium DVDs on the market. The selection of tanks is very good (though I would have liked to see one or two freshwater aquariums as well). Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, it's practically impossible to navigate through the title menu since there's nothing indicating what you're selecting (using HD-DVD player w/Xbox 360). Hopefully this is something that will be fixed in future releases.
If you can get over that frustrating oversight, though, you're going to absolutely LOVE this disk.

"I found this to be beautiful, but the menus don't work very well. In a regular DVD player, I could see which aquarium or music I was choosing, only after several button pushes. In an HD DVD player, I could never tell which choice I was navigating to. It is frustrating. It is not worth the price. At $12.00 I would have felt good about it."

"The quality of the DVD is great however the menus are horrible. When navigating, the menu items do not highlight. You have no way of knowing what you have selected other than guessing."
Not too bad...

"Not the best HD material I've seen, but some of it's not too bad. There is a huge difference between the 480p side and the 1080p side. My favorite is the coral reef, as it has the best image.
My main goal for this disc is not to show off my system, for which I have other, better suited titles for, but rather to play in the background during parties, and for that, it's does a great job and is very pleasing.
Yes, the menus are very slow and brutally simple, but they get the job done. If they don't work for you, then you might need to update the firmware in your player.
I think it was worth the 16 clams. (Pun intended ;)
