Well if you have or have not read yet, supposedly a few days ago Toshiba mentioned Microsoft was not and WOULD NOT make a built in HD DVD player. But now that may have changed…..

Toshiba supposedly nixed the rumor of a Tosh-branded Xbox 360 with built-in HD DVD? Well, get this: xboxscene was contacted by Nelsom Bostock Communications, Toshiba's PR company (in the UK at least), and asked to take down the post (which they haven't). According to NBC, "The comment that ran initially on stuff.tv in relation to the Xbox 360 was a misquote." The quote that Toshiba's PR company wants us to run says, "Toshiba has no comment to make on this matter. The Xbox 360 is not a Toshiba product."

Wow. This may mix some peoples feelings this Christmas. Should you go and buy a 360 knowing that next Christmas you MIGHT be able to go out and buy one with built in HD DVD? I say, go out and buy one already. HD DVDs won't become really popular until next Christmas anyway and then you can buy the little adapter. Besides this would jack up the 360 by about $200 anyway. Who wants to pay $559 core a premium 360? Not me. Especially not paying all at one time.

We will update this when we get more info.
