se rumorea fuertemente que Xbox360 bajará de precio, incluso dicen que puede salir una versión nueva con HD-DVD integrado!!
Entrevista a Major Nelson (XBL) de Xboxyde, de 16-9-06
And what about the HD-DVD drive? There’s been some negative feedback from the community about that…
Major Nelson: It’s all about giving people choice. We’re not telling gamers that they need to pay for it. I’m really worried that gamers are going to become collateral damage in a DVD format war. Do we want that? Of course not! We’re saying that you can get the Xbox 360 as a great gaming and entertainment console, and if you want to watch HD-DVDs on it you can buy an add-on. But if you don’t want it, you don’t have to have it! You can pick and choose. We’re not forcing you to pay for something you won’t necessarily use. And if you look at the transfer speed for Blu-Ray, they’re pretty slow. Gamers are impatient. They don’t want loading delays.

No Internal HD DVD Plans
posted Friday, June 30, 2006 12:00 AM by cesarmenendez
Saw a few stories online about an Xbox 360 with a built-in HD DVD drive: not true. We have no plans to release an Xbox 360 with an internal HD DVD. What we showcased at E3 was an external HD DVD drive, and we're sticking with that. We've always had a games-first emphasis with the Xbox, but some consumers can build on the platform - like by adding a Windows Media Center Edition PC. Bykeeping the drive external, we're offering consumers a choice in creating their own hi-def experiences.So: no plans for an internal HD DVD.
Sobre Bajada de Precio
Otra Vez Major nelson...
Are there any plans to drop the price of the console and make it available to a wider audience?
Major Nelson: We always have that opportunity. We just announced that we are moving into four new territories in Europe and the Core pack is perfect for those countries as it allows people to get the console without paying for all these extra things they might not need. Peter Moore [Global Xbox 360 boss] always talks about how the Core pack lets the wider audience get a hold of an Xbox 360. Again, it’s about choice. Sony are only bringing out one option for the PS3 in Europe and it’s the most expensive one! So are we dropping the price? No, but it’s certainly something we can look at in the future.
PD: Tampoco es el momento ideal para comprar Wii. De hecho practicamente ninguna consola en lanzamientom aunque muchos de nosotros lo acabemos haciendo
