I don't see the point. It raises the price of the 360 and devs still can't use any of the features for gaming.
MS doesn't even care that much about HD-DVD. They want to push downloads, not physical media.
So if they can't use HD-DVD for gaming and it raises the price of the 360, why on Earth would MS include it with a 360? It's possible that they'll create an uber-Elite model, but even that makes little to no sense.
