Xbox 360 joins HD DVD tour

A tour promoting HD DVD is launching in September, and Microsoft will be providing its Xbox 360 + HD DVD combo as an example of the experience. Looks like a sign of confidence that the HD DVD extension will be on par with other HD DVD players — whether the price will also be on par has yet to be seen.

Here are the tour dates:

• September 14 – 17: Denver Colorado Convention Center
• September 22 – 24: Dallas Plano Balloon Fest (Texas)
• September 29 – October 1: Minneapolis, MN
• October 5 – 6: Chicago, IL
• October 10 – 15: New York, NY
• October 20 – 22: Washington, D.C.
• October 26 – 28: Philadelphia, PA
• November 2 – 4: Richmond, VA
• November 15 – 16: Los Angeles, CA
• November 24 – 28: Seattle, WA
• December 6 – 10: San Francisco, CA

In other news, the HD DVD players outsold Sony-backed Blu-ray players by 33% during their respective launch windows, according to NPD.
