There have been contrasting reports about the arrival of a new HD-DVD player for the Xbox360.
Personal Computer World reported that Mark Bennett, Microsoft’s European HD-DVD Business Director, announced an upgrade to the next generation disc player due sometime next year. The new drive was said to support better HDi interactive features.
However, it appears as if Bennett might have been misquoted as several gaming sites have stated there is no new drive on the way – with Microsoft contacting Gizmondo to confirm as much.
The Xbox360 HD-DVD drive is still one of the most cost effective ways of watching high-definition discs.
