Next Xbox Has HD DVD Drive; Battle Far From Over
Every time I go online, I see Blu Ray wins either 3 to 1 or 2 to 1. Then you have fanboy bashing and all that other crap. At this moment, it seems that HD DVD brought a knife to a gun fight. But behind him is a mega ton cannon waiting to fire. (Sorry for the bad analogy). What people fail to realize is that the next gen xbox should have a HD DVD drive considering the process of elimination (or just plain obvious). This should propel the format just like how the PS3 propel Blu-ray.
If you take a step back on how MS approach this generation with the Xbox 360, there actually quite smart. If MS would of came out with a HD DVD drive, it would of been delayed possibly a year and cost just as much as the PS3. If so, then the Xbox 360 would most likely be in last place. Now with the Next Generation Xbox, not only would the HD DVD drive be substantially cheaper by then, it wouldn't affect us consumers by jacking the price up by another 200 buxs. It was a smart decision made at MS and resulted in their lead against the ps3 today.
Well, the war shall continue and we are still going to see different formats for a long time. So to those "the war is over people", prepare for a rude awakening in the coming years.
...Presuming HD DVD is still alive by then...

No...what has resulted in Xbox's lead over PS3 is that it has been for sale a year longer.
Actual sales from launch of both machines are very comparable with the PS3 pulling ahead in EU/JP and X selling more in the US.
I know, that what I pointed out. I hope you did not misconstrued next gen xbox as xbox 360. I was talking about the next xbox in 2010 or 2011 that's coming out. Like I said, if the xbox 360 would of waited for hd dvd then they would of been in last place resulting in the year head start which gave them the lead. (good thing)
true...but honestly, I don't see this Hi def war going on that long. If so, we all lose. I would like to see Blu-Ray win this 'war' mainly because I invested in a blu-Ray player...lol.
2010? try 2008. this so called war is all but over. ces 2008 will prove this. the movie sales say it all.
