It's not gonna happen. It's obvious that MS is not willing to back HD DVD as much as Sony is backing Blu Ray (for obvious reasons). It would have made the format war more interesting, but I don't think it helps the 360 in the console war much.
What's interesting is that all you PS3 owners think bluray will win because the PS3 has a bluay drive in it. The format war will be won by the one who sells more set top players (players that people buy to watch movies) not video game systems (systems that people buy to play games not watch movies). This is why hddvd has about 39% of the market share for movies sold when they only have around 160k players and 160k 360 add-ons sold vs. the 100k bluray players and 1.6m PS3 sold.

The war is not won with players sold. How many movies sold on each format meaters. And blue ray is in lead at the moment.
