180!!!

I'm talking about links to back up your comment that MS had no plans at all for HD-DVD other than a BR deterrant. You said it so factually, as if it's not opinion but something MS said themselves.

Instead you're giving me links about MS pulling a supposed 180 regarding BR support. But even in that off topic tangent, only one of those links was from MS. And it discussed the 360. If MS releases a BR drive for the 360 then you'll have a point.

 

Second link. Read it.

Sorry, that is a link to opinions. I am not interested in what Michael Bay thinks about MS's intentions. So I am assuming it was just your usual loyalty free outlook on MS and their strategies. Thanks.


Loyalty free. :)

However, Microsoft has issued a statement today saying that it is not concerned with reports that the HD DVD will be joining the choir invisible. It said, "We do not believe the recent reports about HD DVD will have any material impact on the Xbox 360 platform or our position in the marketplace, As we've long stated, we believe it is games that sell consoles, and Xbox 360 continues to have the largest next-gen games library with the most exclusives and best-selling games in the industry."

In other words...Microsoft didnt give a shit about Toshibas HD-DVDs survival. It was only used to deter the Blu Ray format. MS is not "Concerned" about something it cared enough about to invest in add ons. A bit hypocritical, eh?
