Rumor: HD DVD Built Into The Xbox 360?


Well it looks like the Xbox 360 could be getting the make over that might change the console wars. According to Smarthouse, rumor has it the Toshiba is working on a 360 that has a built in HD DVD player and is expected to be released in 2008 or at the 2009 CES show in Las Vegas. Check the quote by a senior Toshiba executive:

"An Xbox with a built in HD DVD drive is critical. They and we are working on it. It also has to be more than a gaming machine. Microsoft recognise this. A version of the device may also be sold under the Toshiba brand name". Smarthouse also says "The device is being developed in response to the PS3 driving sales of games software and Blu-ray content in several countries."

Something tells me that I'm going to want to trade in my current 360 very soon.

That reminds me of way back when you could buy the Atari 2600, or go to Sears and get the same thing branded for Sears.

Now it's Microsoft and Toshiba.

Hats off to all four company's mentioned. I love 'em all.
