Don't you tell us what we are basically assuming..
I expect the 720 will play audio from cds, movies from dvds and download, and games from HD-DVD. It's the logical move for MS - Toshiba owes MS a hell of alot of gratitude because MS tried to help them float their tech, so they can get the rights to use it extremely cheap.
HD-DVD is actually very good technology, it has read speeds comparable to Blu Ray, and I believe a dual layer can hold 40gb (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) and with voluntary installs onto the huge harddrive that the 720 will have, there is no need for Blu Ray. And we all know MS joined he console game to weaken Sony and push things like movie downloads to stop the TV taking over from the PC for entertainment king
