Microsoft still looking at HD-DVD support for Xbox360

You Know Something, I think releasing HD-DVD and Blu-Ray can jeopardize the whole sales period, Man When DVD's got released, People were still using VHS, and now people recently are leaving VHS for DVD's now, it took a long while to get off VHS, it took 5 years for people to get into DVD's now and now they are deciding to release this stuff? Come On I think it's too soon, DVD's ain't even that old, VHS was around since like the 80's I think or longer, why do this now? Why? that's my opinion on How I feel about this whole HD-DVD and Blu-Ray thing, we are just starting to get into DVD's now and I think it's too soon

HAHA!!! i knew 360 would support HD-DVD. But for them to ship with a regular DVD will be pretty hard on them. I wonder for the people who by the 1st versions, is there going to be some kinda swapout special available to them. It doesn't take too much to put support for the drives. All they would need to do is unplug the old one and put in the new. I guess they are not too concerned about the different drives. Who know, if could be a way for XBOX to make even more money. For all the guys who bought the first versions, they could send it in, for a minimal fee and maybe even get a special edition drive. Wouldn't that be nice >;)

ano a sound reli dum but wots a hd-dvd please

Remember when the first x-box was coming out... It "was going to have a Progressive-scan dvd player", then boom... regular dvd.. Now look at this.. "was going to have HD-DVD" and now boom... regular dvd. Does this all seem sort of silly that they can't make up their minds about what technology they want to support? Don't forget what the ps/2 did for people wanting Progressive scan dvd when that came out. I imagine sony will do the same thing for blu-ray so that would be my bet to be the eventual winner in that war.. but then again... remember beta.....

I hadn't known that the high-def DVD formats had made some sort of anti-piracy decision to REQUIRE HDMI output until yesterday. Adding either drive to the Xbox360 would either require Microsoft to only route HD video through a new HDMI port or come up with a way to appease the copyright owners who sent high-def component output down the path to oblivion. Since appeasement probably won't work and HDMI is useless to me, I'm now out of the Xbox360 market due to nothing new enough to plop down their asking price. If only it mattered to the people who make these decisions that huge numbers of HDMI-less HDTVs are out here, and they aren't going to be thrown away for a long time...
