Considering that such a decision would postpone the launching date, Microsoft will equip the initial models with classic DVD drives, and only after the new HD-DVD are ready, the Xbox will incorporate them.

Xbox 360 going into the HD-DVD side is an important advantage for Toshiba and in the same time a response to Sony’s announcement that the new Play Station 3 will incorporate the Blu-Ray standard.

WTF did you just say????

anyway i think this is a great move to go HD-DVD not only because Sony went with Blu-Ray discs but this will make more space available for larger textures and more data. Also this would be difficult for most people to make illegal copies of it
