Xbox 360 to Get External HD DVD Drive
Microsoft isn't going to let Sony have all the high definition DVD fun. The company has announced at CES they will offer an external HD DVD drive for the Xbox 360. Unfortunately it doesn't look like Xbox 360 games will benefit from the added storage capability of the new technology. Sony's Playstation 3 will have a large storage capacity edge.Building on Xbox 360 leadership in high-definition experiences, the company announced plans to deliver a new Xbox 360 external HD DVD drive in 2006. The new drive will offer millions of Xbox 360 owners the ability to easily enjoy HD DVD movies and will provide consumers with even more choices for experiencing high-definition content, in either physical or digital form. Consumers can also use their Xbox 360 system to access high-definition television and movies from their Windows XP-based Media Center PC.
