darth, what the crap are you talking about?
"allowed to play games" what? Are you reffering to them putting out HD-DVD only games? They will not do that, and you know it. Microsoft has even gone as far as making dev's ensure their games play on the core just to be honest with that basis - why would they then kill their largest % of userbase (ie, everyone that didn't have a HD-DVD elite).
If anything, like others have said, a HD-DVD powered X360 *might* be allowed to have HD-DVD games for those that required multiple disks such as Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon. I see that as a possibility, but none other than that.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
