HD-DVD Confirmed For Xbox 360 260
JorgeDeLaCancha writes "Microsoft has recently confirmed plans to bring an external HD-DVD drive to the Xbox 360. This has been previously speculated numerous times, with Bill Gates himself stating 'future versions of Xbox 360 will incorporate an additional capacity of an HD-DVD player.' Do consumers even want another format war?"

Somewhere, there was a schedule slip. A bad one.
Check what's happening on Ebay. Early on, Xbox units were selling at high premiums. That's over. Core systems sold for $330 today. At $355, core systems don't sell. That's an unopened price; used systems are down to $200 or so. Many speculators who bought systems for resale are still trying to unload them, and they're not making money when they do.
This is not a "must have" product any longer.

Well, that doesn't say much. Anandtech doesn't say much either:
So maybe there will need to be a new revision, but maybe not, because it uses an ATI GPU, and they might have tucked it in.
