No Internal HD-DVD For Xbox360
July 1st, 2006 by Darren Stevens in Hardware, Xbox360
Yesterday a spokesperson from Toshiba said that Microsoft would begin producing consoles with internal HD-DVD drives. Now Cesar Menedez writes on the official Xbox games blog:
Saw a few stories online about an Xbox 360 with a built-in HD DVD drive: not true. We have no plans to release an Xbox 360 with an internal HD DVD. What we showcased at E3 was an external HD DVD drive, and we’re sticking with that.
An internal HD-DVD drive at this point would drive the price on the Xbox360 through the roof. The HD-DVD add-on is believed to cost around $200, as we reported last month. No official release date has been set on the exteral drive.

Thats Great the price is amaaazing it looks like a mini 360 with its chrome tray and embossed 360 logo and looks like a face plate on top lol and fan the same on the back looks sweet though its definatly going to make the 360 more flexible than the ps3 with all the stuff barely fitting inside it lol x
