Oh great... Now they changed their mind and decided to put an HD DVD player in Xbox360... Lol
Quote:
Microsoft today announced, on the CES in Las Vegas, an external HD DVD player for Xbox360. Rumours for such a player has been around for quite a while, but were always denied by M$. Three weeks ago, an news article appeared in Japan about the Xbox360 next launch with a HD DVD drive, however M$ told the world that this wasn't true, that there were no plans for a HD DVD player for Xbox360. That reaction wasn't completely a lie, since M$ now comes with an external drive. The games for the console support HD, but discs with HD content (pre-recorded discs containing movies) weren't playable on the console. It has been said several time, that M$ this time could decide the format war. M$ said that 90% of the people possessing a Xbox360, recently bought a HDTV or were concidering a purchase. When the external HD DVD device will be launched is not known, M$ also didn't say anything about its price.

Hehe... It's certainly a goal for the HD DVD camp. However, I don't think this external device will be as populair, as Xbox360 would've been with internal device.
