If it still comes bundled with King Kong, and the 5 Free HD DVD offer that is still good until Thursday, you can buy the drive for your current collection, sell the bonus discs off on EBAY and come away with a free drive and $50 to boot.

I'm thinking about buying another one... I just don't want another copy of King Kong.

You can always sell the copy of King Kong - as well as the extra 360 universal media remote (MSRP $19.99). The extra free movies is good, since you can get alternate titles from the list (albeit, it's not a great list to choose from - I wish they had "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" instead of the newer, crappy remake/retelling)!
