Today's chapter of the HD-DVD saga is brought to you by some Baltimore-style damage control from Microsoft's Xbox team:
In other words: HD-DVD is dead, yo. Don't expect any games published in HD-DVD, don't expect any more free movies when purchasing the Microsoft HD-DVD drive for the Xbox 360, and sure as hell expect the Xbox 720 (if we ever see it) to ship with either a current generation Blu-ray, or simply move on to pure online distribution channels.
HD-DVD Statement from Xbox
[From Gamerscore Blog : HD-DVD Statement from Xbox]
We do not believe the recent reports about HD DVD will have any material impact on the Xbox 360 platform or our position in the marketplace. As we’ve long stated, we believe it is games that sell consoles and Xbox 360 continues to have the largest next-gen games library with the most exclusives and best selling games in the industry. We will wait until we hear from Toshiba before announcing any specific plans around the Xbox 360 HD DVD player. HD DVD is one of the several ways we offer a high definition experience to consumers and we will continue to give consumers the choice to enjoy digital distribution of high definition movies and TV shows directly to their living room along with playback of the DVD movies they already own.
