Microsoft is in a pretty nice spot right now. They have a console that is lacking an internal HD drive and for that reason they can sell it cheaper than the PS3.Large_Soda

[QUOTE="teebeenz"]Itd be possible, but it would be more expensive than a PS3, and unable to play games from the drive. Would be kinda pointless.nosferatu

While I agree on the 1st 2 points (although it wouldn't be MUCH more expensive than a PS3), the last point isn't true. As a part of the spec, all HD-DVD players must be backwards compatible with SD-DVD. Therefore the drive would be able to play normal game discs as well.

Will Half Life 2 Episode 3 be available as downloadable content? Or will we have to buy a new disc or Orange Box 2 or what?1vgfan

Already rented and beat the full game. I actually thought the Kai bits were better than the Nariko bits.

-Spock-

Every time I play Orange Box, I get nauseated. I tried backing up, anybody else have that problem?lgrub002

if it is a port then it'll be a port of the PC version which is allot easier to port over to the 360 then to the PS3.. in fact i wouldn't be surprised if the 360 version is already done and they're waiting for the money Sony paid them for exclusivity has finnished burning to release it..

Both the 360 and PS3 versions will be based off of the optimized PC version. But that doesn't necessarily make them "ports".makemeweak

No, actually it won't be a port, and they are working on it for 360. The problem is user created content, like custom made maps, which can then be distributed for PC users and Ps3 users. MS does not allow custom content on their system due to digital rights management crap, and that is what is causing the delay on the 360. Gamespot already mentioned that on their last update this week...Phazevariance
