December 14, 2005 - One day after Japanese reports sprung up about the future of HD-DVD and Xbox 360, Microsoft has issued an official response.

Microsoft lists two points in response to the reports claiming that it has, as of the 14th, entered into final development phases with Toshiba and other HD-DVD backers to release an HD-DVD version of the Xbox 360 some time next year after Spring. The first point: "Microsoft, in both America and Japan, has not announced anything regarding the possibility of a next generation DVD drive being placed in the Xbox 360." And the second point: "There are currently no plans to release an Xbox 360 equipped with a next generation DVD player."

While the second point may be true, we'll point out that the first point is somewhat of a grey area. Microsoft, both in America and Japan, has made comments regarding HD-DVD appearing in future revisions of the Xbox 360. Whether more specific comments on the matter were shared yesterday with the Japanese press, either in an official context or while everyone was drunk off hot sake, is the question.

The xbox 360 is no longer selling for ridiculous prices on ebay. It's not worth it to line up and only make a few hundred on ebay.

I think I'm going.... going to be one of the first in line. And when I get into the store I'm just going to jam a big steel bar through each box so noone there can have one.



Happy Holidays! :af:

$700 is still pretty ridiculous in my book. Better than the 1-1.5K after launch, but still pretty high.

Define "piece of shit system". I know of no less than 10 that are running with no problems.
