Xbox 360 with HD-DVD player - Image 1Through its Gamerscore Blog, Microsoft Games' Global Marketing team just announced that the platform-holder will no longer manufacture HD-DVD players for the Xbox 360. As previously stated, Microsoft doesn't expect any material impact on its gaming platform.

Current owners of the HD-DVD add-on can still enjoy standard product and warranty support, while those who want to adopt the high definition format can find the Xbox 360 HD-DVD players with reduced prices.

Rumors have been flying around regarding Blu-Ray compatible Xbox 360 units in the works, and a Microsoft executive expressed his willingness to pick up the former competing format if the industry giant's supported HD-DVD is to fail. However, as of now, Microsoft stands by its decision to offer customers a high-def experience through several other ways such as digital distribution.

They aren't kidding when they say reduced prices. We dropped the price of our used HD DVD drives at the Game Crazy I work at to $50, and as always our used DVD's and HD DVD's are all just $5. It's a great time to pick up a player just to have one. Not to mention the fact that there are probably going to be some great sales on new movies as stores try to clear out there inventories.
