Dude...

NO HD DVD support!!! what an outrage!

Dude, Microsoft and Samsung announced a partnership not only describing their marketing strategies for anything and everything HD, but also that Xbox 360 WILL HAVE an hd-dvd drive... Watch the unveiling tonight on MTV, 9:30 eastern time.

Oh, how did I know you would chime in!?!?!?

Why not? I can certainly think of two good reasons.

1) The new Xbox has NOTHING to do with Voom
2) SatelliteGuys has a Gaming forum

Whoopie doooo......Is there a reason I shouldn't have chimed in? Or does that mean you think you won one? Just wondering? Vicki

This is being discussed in the HDTV Gaming forum.

IF they will have a HD-DVD drive remains to be seen the offical specs says plain old DVD drive for now.

They are not having an HD drive. It is cost prohibitive at this point PLUS it will be released before any other HD player will even be on the market.

maybe there is some hope:

HD DVD support - It looks DVD is going to have to hold you. [Update: Brian@Kotaku swears Microsoft told him it will support HD DVD, but he also eats paste.]

my friend at microsoft has told me the disclaimer states that the specs are subject to change for better or worse.
