Microsoft Halts Xbox 360 HD DVD Drive
Posted on Feb 24, 08 07:36 PM PDT
Talk about kicking a man when he's down - Microsoft has decided to stop manufacturing their Xbox 360 HD DVD drive peripheral, driving what could possibly be the last nail in HD DVD's coffin. Good thing the big M did not decide to throw their weight behind Toshiba by including HD DVD as a drive inside the Xbox 360 in the first place, eh? Well, at least you can purchase an Xbox 360 HD DVD drive on the cheap now - do look out for firesales to be announced after this move. For those who have already picked up the HD DVD drive, fret not - Microsoft will still honor their warranty, although I wonder how much action you're going to see from the now unloved drive.

I think that had M$ put HD in the 360 from the get go - the result would have been a lot different.

'Last nail in the coffin'? Hardly. Toshiba's pull-out put paid to that. I think were at the stage of throwing soil on the top and patting down with a spade now.
