Come on, do you really think Microsoft has ever cared much about HD-DVD? They stood to win very little (if anything) from it. They probably supported HD-DVD in order to hurt Sony a bit with their PS3 Blu-Ray ideas, but now that that's over why wouldn't they make a Blu-Ray addon for their console? It's not like they're changing the outcome of the war by doing it, they're just giving 360 gamers a choice of having a HD disc player (the same way that they did before, just with another format).

Microsoft has always been interested in downloads, which is where they could make a killing. By supporting HDDVD and dragging on the format war they could weaken the next gen formats adoption rate and overall market presence, thus giving them a better chance to sneak downloads in.
