Xbox 360 HD DVD Player Hits (Japan) Nov. 22

Microsoft will announce tomorrow (late tonight for those of you in saner time zones) that the Xbox 360 HD DVD player attachment will ship to its small Japanese fanbase just in time for the holidays. Priced at a very reasonable 19800 yen (20790 yen with tax) which breaks down to $168 (USD), also it should run at 1080p capabilities and Windows XP Media Center Edition compatability!

RUMOR:Xbox 360 HD-DVD Games Packed With Normal Games



As much as I hope this is true source a from Dutch Microsoft employee,

"Microsoft said that they would only use the HD-DVD play for movies, but it seems like they're also gonna use it for their games. They are gonna pack a normal gamedisc (like we know it now) with a second disc that puts the same game on a HD DVD. This disc contains better quality movies and extra content for the game, content that gamers without a HD-DVD player can download from Xbox Live Marketplace as well, for free! This all was said by a Dutch Microsoft employee on a event for retailers."

Mind you this would be amazing if it would be true. I just can really read into Packing HD-game with Normal disc with out rasing the price of the game.
We can only hope that this is true.


***Update***
CJPC did call this about two weeks ago, for the record.
