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.

Seems obvious. They want to push the HD-DVD format and inflict another wound on Sony.

It's not obvious once you realize that MS has no monetary stake in the success or failure of HD-DVD. There's no incentive for them to go after Sony like that, especially when it risks the overall success of the 360.

 Plus, the only thing I agree with Microsoft about, they are pushing downloadable content. blu-ray + downloadable HD content = awesome combo.
