Xbox 360 to have HD-DVD, Eventually

Posted by timothy on from the 360-view-of-nothing-yet dept.

thebaboon writes "Bill Gates announced that the Xbox 360 will have an HD-DVD drive, just not for launch. From the article: "According to the statements made by Bill Gates in Japan, Xbox 360, the new gaming console, will include HD-DVD drives. 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."

    "Nintendo, quite frankly, is a non-contender for the next generation of home consoles. As of yet, they have shown *nothing*. We have a concept design and a few vague specifications.

    You can't sell a product that doesn't exist yet."
