Lets begin by saying this is in no way a prediction, a rumor, or fact in any way.  It was a dream, no more.

Now, onto my dream.  So last night, in my usual randomness of dreams, I stumbled onto a brief dream about the next Xbox, or more precisely, the new HD-DVD drive and disc format.  Apparently in my dream, which was very vivid, Microsoft released an HD-DVD2 drive, which was purchasable as an addon to the Xbox 360, and included automatically in the new Xbox.  Pricing was never mentioned, but it had the style of the original HD-DVD addon, but was thinner, slot loading, and had a neat logo for the HD-DVD2 with a green glow to the logo and the slot loader.  The disc format was obviously, again, the HD-DVD2 disc.  The specs on the box that I saw, showed an original disc capacity of 126GB per side (printable on both sides of the disc).  I have no idea why my brain chose this size.  All I can remember thinking in this dream was that this was the perfect format and the perfect answer for the next disc format.  It also enabled Xbox 360s to play the majority of the next Xbox's games.

What do you think?  Will Microsoft revive and improve upon the HD-DVD standard and use it in the future?  Was my dream a possible forseight or just some random compilation of memories from my HD-DVD attachment, my Wii, discussion on this forum, and too much Lost Odyssey gaming?
