Microsoft Withdraws HD DVD Player From X BOX 360

Posted by Eduoku on February 24th, 2008

I don’t know what to say or how to put it,but this represents a personal opinion. The decision by Microsoft to stop the production of HD DVD Players for the X Box 360 is a shame.i am just beginning to wander if competition from the likes of Toshiba is finally snuffing Microsoft’s plans.
I personally enjoyed the 360 with the HD DVD and now,i don’t know what we are to expect as gamers.Hear their exact words;
“As a result of recent decisions made by Toshiba, Hollywood studios, and retailers, Microsoft plans to withdraw from HD DVD. Xbox will no longer manufacture new HD DVD players for the Xbox 360, but we will continue to provide standard product and warranty support for all Xbox 360 HD DVD Players in the market,” a statement issued on the Gamerscore Blog said.
“As we stated earlier, we do not believe this decision will have any material impact on the Xbox 360 platform or our position in the marketplace. HD DVD is one of the several ways we offer a high definition experience to consumers and we will continue to give consumers the choice to enjoy digital distribution of high definition movies and TV shows directly to their living room, along with playback of the DVD movies they already own.”
