i remember when ps2 and xbox came out. they offered dvd capabilities and at that time i did not have a dvd player. it was actually a decent selling point b/c i saw it as 'saving' money because i didnt have to buy a dvd player :dunno:

that would make sense. That would be pretty bad if MS sold 360 games just for a segment of the consumer base that ponied up.

It'd feel like a punishment to everyone else.

That would be awful if Halo 3 is an HDDVD.
