Xbox 360 Built-In HD-DVD Rumor Debunked

In our newspost this past Monday, we linked to a rumor that Toshiba was working directly with Microsoft to create an Xbox 360 that would include a built-in HD-DVD drive. Toshiba has now stepped up and firmly stated, “It’s got nothing to do with us.” This doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s actually untrue, as it’s far from unusual for PR to deny something one day and admit to it the next, but chances are that this claim is true. Too bad… it actually sounded like a solid idea.

As with every ‘Microsoft to add HD DVD to 360’ rumour – currently at about one a month – Microsoft is dismissing the claims. But so is Toshiba.A spokesperson for Tosh told us: ‘It’s got nothing to do with us. But we know Microsoft doesn’t want to include the HD DVD drive so as not to limit the user’s experience.
