Well... the way it's posted now this article looks like a follow-up on what Bill Gates said last month in Japan .
This/. article confirms the HD-DVD will come on future versions of the Xbox360... and that's the wrong part. Bill Gates never confirmed it. The softpedia article (posted on june 27) this/. article (posted on July 30) refers to is a bad interpretation of what Bill Gates said last month.
He said they are looking into the possibility to eventually add a HD-DVD drive or other into later versions of the Xbox 360. He did not confirm it would happen and did not confirm it'll be HD-DVD.
May 18th... you don't make it look better for/.
Anyway, the words from BG last month are clear enough:
"We are looking at whether future versions of Xbox will incorporate an additional capability of an HD DVD player or something else."

On a 2nd note ... softpedia is wrong too.
Bill Gates said it (over 1 month ago):
