Toshiba Denies 360 With Built-in HD DVD

A few days ago we discussed the possibility of Toshiba working on an Xbox 360 with a built-in HD DVD component and HD tuners. Today, GamesIndustry.biz has word from Toshiba denying that they're working on that unit. "'It's got nothing to do with us,' said a spokesperson to gadget site Stuff. 'But we know Microsoft doesn't want to include the HD DVD so as not to limit the user's experience.' Microsoft currently sells the HD DVD player as a separate peripheral for the Xbox 360, and offers various deals for users who want to upgrade their console to a hi-definition movie player."

1. Deny the rumors

2. Let people speculate

3. Confirm the rumors and release the gadget

4. ?????

5. Profit...

At least this is what Toshiba and Microsoft would like the story to develop... It's a pity we're talking about Microsoft's Game Division, where profit doesn't seem to be near in any possible future.
