Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive model in the works by Microsoft and Toshiba

October 19th, 2007 by supadupagama

Xbox 360 HD DVD PlayerAfter Toshiba took over Sony’s Cell processor production, Toshiba is now partnering with Microsoft as well, so the two can produce a new model Xbox 360.

The new 1080p resolution model will feature: a built-in HD-DVD drive, a larger hard disk, and new entertainment software based on the current Media Centre, wireless networking capability, a dual HDTV tuner, EPG capability, a docking port for a HD TV screen over 40-inch, and a docking port for an MP3 music player.

The report reads: “A senior Toshiba executive in Singapore told SmartHouse that ‘An Xbox with a built in HD DVD drive is critical. They and we are working on it. It also has to be more than a gaming machine. Microsoft recognise this. A version of the device may also be sold under the Toshiba brand name.’ The new device is expected to be released late in 2008 or at the 2009 CES show in Las Vegas.” — Via Kotaku
