Microsoft was gonna announce the XBox360 with build-in HD-DVD player at CES2008 This is how I know this for sure. A friend of mine works at Microsoft The Netherlands in a high position, sorry i will not say his name cause i dont wanna put him at risk, i hope you guys understand this. I asked him the following question: "Was microsoft gonna announce the xbox with buildin HD-DVD player?" He answered me the following: "He did announce that at CES!"... I know this was not true since i watch Bill Gates playing quitar and announcing he wouldnt do it anymore. Wich i told him. He continued and said: "Uhm, well i only readed Bill's transcript about what he was gonna say, i still have to watch the real presentation" Also he was able to tell me that it doesnt matter at all that it isnt announced. They will just go Blu-Ray just as easily as long the markets goes that way. So its obviosly that Warners decision interfeared with most companies speaches at CES (regarding games/consoles/movies) |
Wow, so a random person with a whole 12 posts writes about a friend who works at Microsoft accidentally told him there was going to be a Xbox 360 with built in HD-DVD player? Oh yeah, I totally believe you. By the way, I just had a friend of a friends buddy's roomates sisters mother-in-laws niece who works for Konami tell me that MGS4 is coming to the 360. I speak the truth! |
I saw this rumor on The Digital Bits some time ago - both that it was in development and going to be announced at CES, and after the WB announcement that BG pulled a big chunk of his speech devoted to HDDVD. TDB is pretty reliable, and doesn't usually spread idle rumors. Of course that doesn't mean this poster knows anyone who is anything.
