They'd be pretty stupid to add and HD-DVD drive when the war is basically over.

Stinkin Mushroom · 01-07-2008, 02:50 AM

just saw the conference.. would have been very stupid if they did it.. guess some hd dvd fanboys believed it

why bother to put a "DEAD FORMAT" into an "GOING DEAD CONSOLE" M$ u sucks!

They are 3 years too late to add an HD DVD drive into the xbox 360. It would be foolish for them to add it now. They missed their window. Who thinks Sony was foolish now?

Microsoft confirmed that there won't be an integrated Hd DVD Xbox 360 as rumored earlier for their Ultimate version. It could be a last minute change after the WB announcement. But we'll never know.

"Monday during an interview at CES in Las Vegas, Bell said Microsoft is taking a more agnostic view on how to serve up HD video. He said that it's up to consumers to make a choice between the two formats, not vendors.

"We'll let the market decide how they're most interested in consuming entertainment," he said."

Back away... back away... distance ourselves...ok.... good.

If he really truly believed that, then he'd make a Blu-ray add-on for the 360!

Yep. Like I said, it's really just about distancing themselves from the stench of HD-DVD failure.

Pretty much. The HD-DVD was a great first attempt at Hi-Def disc media but it seems to be going the way of Laserdisc after the coming of the DVD.

there's goes another DUD talking point... it's like pulling the chair out from underneath them...

That's good news. As an Xbox 360 owner, my concern would be that if they were to make a system with HD-DVD built in, then they would want to start making games on HD-DVD for the extra capacity over the regular 360 game discs, which means for people like myself would be forced to buy the add-on to play games or to upgrade entirely to the new system, which I have no desire to do.

There have been too many changes to both the 360 and PS3 in their short life spans as it is, we don't need more at this point.
