I'm only saying that because I want them to have to re-deny it, so that there is a denial of the denial of the denial. :D Gotta love corporate mind games.]]>Oct 25th 2007 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/Oct 25th 2007 9:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/Oct 25th 2007 9:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/Oct 25th 2007 9:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/
I prefer things the way they are, seperate player if I choose to watch movies through my gaming console. Using the same drive for games and movies will, in theory, double the wear and tear on the hardware. Obviously this is one of those YMMV situations.

Also the cost. If they release a new 360 with built-in HD DVD without raising the price and sacrificing gameplay in any way whatsoever, then I might consider it a good idea. As things are now, though, I'm happy. You can buy yourself a 360 and if you want, at a later time, to look into HD DVD, then you still have that option, and for cheap (in comparison to stand-alone players). For those of us who aren't interested in choosing a side yet, despite owning a 1080p set for the last year, I like the idea of not being "forced" (a bit harsh of a term, but you know what I mean) to take home something I don't want or need.

My still-working, launch release Ps2 has had maybe 3 dvd movies played in it since I've had it. If I had the option of an external dvd movie player, I would've watched a hell of a lot more movies via my Ps2. Not watching movies on my Ps2 might be the reason why it's still in perfect working condition without a single problem since day 1. Again, though, YMMV.]]>Nov 1st 2007 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/Oct 25th 2007 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/Oct 25th 2007 11:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/
It's clearly just a piece of shoddy journalism in the first instance that the agency has been trying to correct, and this 'denies the denying' story is just lazy, space filling nonsense. ]]>Oct 26th 2007 5:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/Oct 26th 2007 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/Oct 26th 2007 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/
Anyways, I don't see this as a HUGE deal because MS will never make games on HD DVD's.

I had an interesting conversation with a non-tech friend. He was debating to go BR or HD for his next player. He actually just went with a regular DVD player. After watching demonstrations he came to this conclusion: The leap from SDTV to HDTV is HUGE. The leap from DVD to HD DVD or BR just isn't as huge.

If I was not going to make this, and someone brought it up, why wouldn't I just say, "No, we have no plans to make that at this time. Thanks."


What's with all the secrecy BS? It just makes me want to strangle some PR chick (ever notice how all the "bad" news is "handled" by chicks?).]]>Oct 26th 2007 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/Oct 26th 2007 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/
BAHHHHHAHAHAHHAHAHA]]>Oct 26th 2007 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/When it comes to Blue ray and HDDVD its a different case, its better to have one fomat becuase this format will be licensed to other manufacturers like LG and philips...etc and they will compete among themselves. Its way more convenient to have just one Hi-def player than having to buy two of them..
My expectations is that the Blue Ray will win the consumer because its being supported by many manufacturers as well by more studios. So, if you like xbox 360, just go ahead and buy one, its a great system.and when the next gen hi def is known just go buy a Hi def dvd player (either HDDVD or BR) and by that time the price will be like the prices of the current DVD players. How many of you people out there have both a ps2 or xbox and a dvd player. I'll say if not most of us then all of us.... this is what is going to happen.]]>Oct 26th 2007 12:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/toshiba-denies-denying-xbox-360-with-built-in-hd-dvd-rumor/Nov 8th 2007 11:38PM
