MS says no to Xbox 360 with built-in HD DVD

Microsoft has “no plans” to offer a version of its Xbox 360 console with an internal HD DVD drive, a company employee has stated in a bid to confound rumours to the contrary. According to the software giant’s official Xbox employee blog, the company is “sticking” with the external drive it announced in January this year and demo’d in May.

So this probably affects about two people, because there is still hardly a need for an HD-DVD player.. let alone it being internal. Microsoft claims it’s due to giving choice, but it’s likely more to do with the high costs.
