Microsoft plans 360 remake

[360] Internal HD-DVD drive rumoured for 2007

Wednesday 13 September 2006
Plans for an updated version of Xbox 360 with an internal HD-DVD drive are being drawn up by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft, with the intention of releasing the new Hi-Def enabled next-gen console in early 2007, according to iꦡndustr🗹y sources.

This would be one way to combat PlayStation 3's in-built Blu-ray support, which will enable playback of movies in the new HD format, as well as giving much more space for game developers to use on each disc. Konami's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hideo Kojima - the man behind the Me♍tal Gear Solid series - has stated that MGS4: Guns of the Patriots could not physi♍cally fit on a normal DVD disc.

Despite this news coming from reports that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft is currently selecting a manufacturer for these drives in Taiwan, when ꦗcontacted the tech giant stated that it "does not comment on rumour and speculation".

But then it is unlikely that any official announcemen🧸t will be made until 360's ♓external HD-DVD drive has been released this Christmas, for fear of putting off a whole wave of potential new Xbox 360 owners who would rather wait for a fully integrated system.
