Now that the HD DVD / Blu-Ray format war is decided, HD DVD stuff should

I'd like to see if I can get a CHEAP HD DVD Drive connected up to my
linux pc so that I can view some cheap HD DVD movies once they get sold
off.

Does anyone know what our ( linux ) options are for doing this? I'm
looking for something that can be hooked up via the ide, usb, sata, etc
ports... and has linux drivers.

Thanks - jack

There were hardly any HD DVD drives on the market, Newegg has 1 for $100
and it's an IDE drive.
