    xbox 360 MS "readying internal HD-DVD Xbox 360"

    According to reports from Far Eastern sources -- and it could even arrive next year

    According to DigiTimes, Microsoft is in the process of designing a version of the Xbox 360 with a built-in HD-DVD drive.

    The Taiwanese publication cites "sources in Taiwan's optical disc drive (ODD) industry" and says that Microsoft has started designing the system and is in the process of selecting manufacturers for the internal drive. And it reckons that the HD-DVD Xbox 360 - with vastly increased capacity for games content - could arrive as early as next year, although MS has always previously denied the HD-DVD drive would would be used for games.

    Bearing in mind Sony's total commitment to Blu-ray, the move would place Microsoft even more firmly at loggerheads with the Japanese consumer electronics giant. But it would also generate a vast amount of potential for consumer confusion - with two versions of the Xbox 360 already on sale, and an external HD-DVD drive for the machine due to go on sale before Christmas. Microsoft has always said that it will respond to consumer demand as far as the rival HD movie formats are concerned, and that it would not tie itself to one or the other until a clear winner emerges, so it would mark a policy U-turn for the company.

    It would be pretty cool to have a HD DVD in the 360 but tbh i would never want 1.
    Personally i think that the normal dvd formats are good enough for me, but iv never seen a HD DVD film so i cant really comment.

    It will be awhile before i get 1, but i plan to get a HDTV asap to improve my 360's graphics
