X360 HD-DVD announcement.
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/...dexplained.htm
'This new accessory will connect to the Xbox 360 console with a USB cable, enabling it to harness the power of the Xbox 360 console for the HD video outputs and digital surround sound. As an accessory, it becomes another shining example of the flexibility of Xbox 360 designed into the console in order to grow and add new features. It's also just one of several new accessories being announced at E3.'

Re: X360 HD-DVD announcement.
interesting...but will Microsoft allow games to be played on the HD-DVD drive, or will all games have to be through the main drive?

Nah, HD-DVD is only for video playback. Games will remain on DVD9.

Re: X360 HD-DVD announcement.
Kinda pointless now, they should've had it standard with 360 and not just for video playback imo. How much will it cost?

Its not part of the gaming side of X360 because it opens up a whole mess with games being on both DVD and HD-DVD. Forcing people to upgrade so the can continue to play games is a dangerous thing to do. Microsoft are marketing the drive as a cheap entry into the new HD video market ... The aim is to get people to buy this instead of a PS3 to get into HD video.
