will hd dvd even still be alive in early 09?Mandingo101absolutely.
Paramount and Dreamworks just went HD DVD exclusive recently. This will probably continue until both formats are replaced by something superior.
Until then:
Transformers HD DVD FTW.
Planet Earth of Blu-Ray FTW.
Blu Ray has won
Games Wont Use it
The XBox is already 3 years in its life cycle
This thing will be UBER expensive
If they do this they are IDIOTS
R-Dot-Yung
Bly-Ray has won nothing
Games won't use it
Xbox can have more SKU's if they believe there's a market for it
This thing will not be uber expensive. Toshiba knows better than that. They'd only do it if the uptick in price is nominal, otherwise, they would be IDIOTS.
It may cost the same price as the high-end PS3...but not a penny more. If they can't get the costs down to match that or come in under it, they won't do it.
[QUOTE="casey7672"]Let's see first they copied Sony's Eye toy, then made an Elite to try and catch PS3, then added HDMI to all 360's like PS3, Now WiFi like PS3, and an HDDVD player. Xbox is the biggest copiers in gaming history.
Pathetic!
Cedmln
Also the most rushed...
also the most played with the best games.
Funny that you're excited about it. Every Lemming on GS has said "BR isn't needed it's a waste of money", "HDMI isn't needed", "WiFi isn't necessary, if I want it I can just buy an add on". What's next they make rechargable controllers like the PS3 too?
Funny howall PS3's have always come with big HDD, HDMI, BR player, WiFi, rechargable controllers, and very good free online and all Lems do is dismiss all of it as bad or unnecessary. But as soon as it comes to their system they brag how great it is.
Pathetic!
Yep, if thats true, the M$ has just taken over Sony for hypocrisy andscrewing over its consumers. Just when we thought they couldn't splinter theiruserbase any more...nicenator
who is getting screwed and how?
it won't play games. essentially, they're making it unnecessary for future Xbox owners to have to buy the add-on to play HD DVD movies.
so again...who's getting screwed?

None of those things are necessary, for arguments's sake. For consumers who don't want all that crap, guess what? they don't have to buy it. none of those things affects the GAMES in any way, shape or form.
MS is creating more options, and is probably getting paid by Toshiba for this one.
Again...where is the problem.

I am. I just bought an elite, and i would have held off if i'd known there would be a HD-DVD model. I would expect this as an early adopter, but the 360 has been out 2 years now.
besides sony, yeah they areLet's see first they copied Sony's Eye toy, then made an Elite to try and catch PS3, then added HDMI to all 360's like PS3, Now WiFi like PS3, and an HDDVD player. Xbox is the biggest copiers in gaming history.

I doubt games will be on HDDVD's. That will alienate 11-12 million 360 users. Microsoft is not stupid like some of you think. The internal HDDVD drive could just be used for movies instead of having people buy the add on.

If you want HDDVD just buy the add on. It works just as good. If there is an internal HDDVD drive in a new 360 sku then it won't be used for playing games. Games will still be on DVD9's not on HDDVD's. You are in no way screwed cause games will not be on HDDVDs.
all things considered, OP...YOU FAIL.
This in no way matches the PS3. Devs will not put games on HD DVD. That room will not be used for any games to take advatage of.
Consequently, it does not "match" the PS3 when kept in context. But I fully expect the 360 to be marketed as if it will. I would bet many a consumer will be suckered, thinking 360 games are on HD DVD now because the box says "HD DVD" on it.
Consumers are often pretty dumb...it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
if the 360 games starts coming out in HD DVD...nextgenCurious
Stopped reading right there. They won't.
The end.

You say this now just like you said all of that wasn't necessary until your system has it, then it's great. When they start using the HD DVD drive to improve games and make them longer then you'll say that it's greater than BR and now the games are way better. You Lems are well known for dissing whatever is great that the PS3 can do and offers its gamers. Then when MS obviously copies Sony and puts the same thing in its xbox's it's great and wonderful.
Nothing's great until it's in a Xbox console, that's what Lems think.
Playstation was first and makes innovative gaming consoles. Then MS came along and copies and/or enhances what Sony has already done in its Playstations. And all their fans sit and criticise Sony all the whileSony isinnovative and MS copies everything they do. Hipocrits is what Lems are!

how are you so sure? give me some evidence of why they won't be making games in the format of which the system is capable of using

There is a difference between "need" and "want".
There is a difference between "necessity" and "desire".
The fundamental question is this: "Can the core Xbox 360 play the games?"
The simple answer to this fundamental question is: "Yes."
That is the bottom line. It's just like my car. I bought a BMW 335xi, with just about all the fixin's. Now, I could have bought a 328i with nothing in it...and you know what? That 328i will still get me everywhere I want to go in style. I didn't *need* anything above the baseline 328i in order to make the car drive. Fact.
Consider that.
As far as console innovation...meh. Everyone copies from everyone else. Attempting to put down one product over another because of copying is like looking down the road with blinders on. Were we to look at Sony's consoles, we'd see a laundry list of things borrowed from Nintendo and Microsoft. Nobody is better than anyone else.
Oh, and I'm not a lem. Just becuase I don't see a problem with this doesn't mean it's time to brand someone a fanboy. You're going to have to deal with the fact that in life, opinions on a particular subject can differ.

Because now you're being forced to buy the 360 with HD DVD right? :|
So they phased out the Xbox 360 Core, Premium, Halo Edition, and Elite?
Link?
PS3's been matched? Ha ha ha, so funny. Here's a little difference. Blu-ray is in EVERY PS3 and is/will be used for games. HD-DVD is/will not be standard in every 360, therefore either every 360 owner loses out or the many who bought a 360 without the HD-DVD drive included.
Not to mention the capacity differences in HD-DVD when coompared to blu-ray. HD-DVD will never catch up.

Now, that would be halarious. The thing is that even if this was true, then M$ still can't utilize it in games, because you have 11 million 360's out there that don't have that drive. It's not even legitimate to do that to early adopters. So my guess that even with the HD-DVD drive built in, it won't be utilized for games but only for playing movies, not to mention how expensive that model would be. M$ is doing everything it can to stop the Blue-Ray from destroying the HD-DVD. We'll see if this is true.
The porn industry will be the deciding factor for the format wars just like the VHS and Betamax days, Sony will just have to reconsider "allowing" the porn industry to use Blu-RayGP1mili think sony already allows porn on blu ray, i remember hearing about a japanese porn company going blu ray, and of course vivd. also back then there was no internet, now there is.
