| Funny how it introduces the "HD" era, but it doesn't actually have a HD DVD drive... Maybe not a big deal today, but in a few years it will be... Plus PS3 is gonna have a blu-ray drive... |

"then it is the only type of DVD player in a game machine capable of HD today. "
No, Parker, it does not exist today. This is an article about a speech. It is not a box. "Sure, someday one of several competing formats will exist on larger discs like blu-ray. But that day isn't now. " As is true with XBox Next. Duh. |

#4 "What? No prototypes? Wow. I didn't think they were that far behind."
A prototype ... there's prototypes of Blur-Ray too smart ass. |

| I agree about the lack of a HD/BR DVD drive--it seems like a major oversight, although I'm guessing it probably has to do with keeping console cost down. But I would think a bigger concern would be to make sure that they don't come up short hardware-wise against the PS3. Hardware, after all, is one of the biggest reasons that the XBox gained its popularity in the first place. |
