HD-DVD built-in Xbox 360 coming?

Microsoft: Xbox 360 with Built In HD-DVD Drive On The Way?

In some exciting news for HD-DVD fans, Scott Browning, one of the most experienced CE retail marketing executives in Australia, has revealed that Microsoft is preparing to launch a new Xbox 360 console featuring a built in HD-DVD drive.

"The fact that movie houses like Paramount are behind the HD-DVD format along with the like of DreamWorks is key. I believe that more content providers will get behind the format and that the likes of Microsoft who are big supporters of the HD DVD format will bring out an Xbox with a built in HD DVD player. This is a given."

I dont know how trustworthy this guy is, but it would definetely cause some ripples in the whole blu-ray vs. hd-dvd war. And by that, I mean prolong even more, which of course makes all of us consumers happy as all hell...

This does NOT mean that game developers will be using HD-DVD's to make games, because not all 360's will have built-in drives. This will be done for movie watching, only. Actually, I cant even confirm that, I can only assume since if thats what they did, they would be alienating millions of people, which would be dumb as shit.

actually the usb cable is for connection only. the important thing is that its running thru component cables which really affect the picture quality.
