Rumor Mill: Xbox 360 with Built-in HD-DVD Drive!

October 19th, 2007 by scott topic

Aussie tech site SmartHouse broke some news that Toshiba and Microsoft are working closely to create an Xbox 360 with both a built-in HD-DVD drive and a larger Hard Drive. I think it would be silly for Microsoft NOT to do this, and they should have done it a long time ago.

Microsoft certainly cannot be happy this news broke, because there’s bound to be a lot of people who will hold out on buying a 360 this holiday in hopes this new model will arrive by next Christmas. I am hoping this release might drive down the price of the HD-DVD add on for those of us who already have the console.

If the HD-DVD drives become much much more commonplace, can you see a future where some games come in both multi-dvd or single-HD-DVD flavors? (Or even, only on HD-DVD?) I can.
