Microsoft sits on the fence over next-generation DVD format support

In the wake of Microsoft's CES announcement of a peripheral HD-DVD drive for the Xbox 360, the company's gaming division boss Peter Moore has revealed that a Blu-Ray drive could also be on the cards for the system.

Speaking with Japanese website ITMedia at the huge electronics show in Las Vegas last week, Moore said that a Blu-Ray drive for the Xbox 360 could be released if the Blu-Ray standard, which is backed by Sony, wins the next-generation DVD format battle.

Microsoft currently supports Toshiba's rival HD-DVD specification over Sony's Blu-Ray, but the company uses standard DVDs for Xbox 360 games and will only support HD-DVD movies with the release of the new external drive later this year.

Xbox 360 could eventually support Blu-Ray - Moore

Beat my score in Geometry Wars!

(and thats not my high score ... a friend online last night was all excited when he broke 1 million with 1.29 million and was like "I OWN YOU IN GEO WARS!" then he saw my high score of 1.42 million and realized he hadnt beaten mine, so I played one time, and that one time I played, I beat his score w/that score in the picture that I took and bragged to him )

Well I am on the bandwagon. I picked up a premium today from bestbuy and returned my psp in order to get it. Haven't even hooked it up yet, but I will be doing so tonight. I will have to post back with my thoughts

WHO is going to get an extrnal HD-DVD driver to watch HD-DVD? You'd think the guys that would want this would want a 'dedicated' machine to do it. If it comes out of the box with HD-DVD compatibility that would be great.

I wonder how much it will cost? How much will HD-DVD players cost?

HD-DVD players are starting out at $400+. If they made the add-on somewhere around $100-$200 there would probably be some 360 owners who would spend the extra money on the add-on.

DOA4 has like some of the WORST AI programming I have ever seen in a fighting game ...

It's just like the programmers were lazy as fvck. It's like their tagline is "lets just make it harder by giving the CPU a handicap and making them counter if the human player is going to get off 2 combos in a row."

I can practically predict exactly when I'm going to get countered by the CPU. it's also not fun that the fact I can do a 7 hit combo with a slow/strong guy and take off 20%, then the opponent thats a faster/weaker character does a 3 hit combo taking off 40%. THat's the handicap I'm talking about.

lazy programming on the part of Tecmo. SHoulda put more guys on the AI instead of the graphics. Graphics are incredible. Of course I wouldn't care about this horrible AI if I didn't have to beat the game w/everyone to unlock secret characters ... but i do.

I know I would. I use my 360 as my primary DVD player as is.

Same here, it's going to completely depend on price, and media availability.

Personally, I'm not a big video/audiophile. I couldn't tell the difference between a $50 DVD player and a $500 DVD player (unless it has exceptional upconversion, or something like that.)

Alpha-152 makes me want to slam my controller into the TV during the Time Trials. She was cheap enough in Story Mode but she is incredibly cheap during the Time Trial.

Hard OCP does a watercool mod of the 360.

Wow those look awesome. You can tell they aren't pre-rendered either cause you can make out the aliasing a little bit on them.

This next batch of games slated for March are going to be some of the best graphics we have seen on a console to date I believe.

Yeah, I think we are finally going to start seeing the graphical power of the 360 soon. A few of the launch games (and DOA4) look impressive but not quite as kickass as games like GoW and Fight Night are going to look.

GoW is definitely not coming out in March. We'll be lucky if we see it by the Summer.

Yea looks like eb games moved up GoW to 7/06, but we also have Oblivion, Splinter Cell Double Agent, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Burnout Revenge and Saint's Row (a few others as well) listed for March all which should have blazing graphics and just 1 or 2 of these keep me busy for awhile although I plan on getting at least 3 or 4 of them.
