HD-DVD Emulator for Xbox 360 now free

Posted Mar 5, 2008 at 1:39PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Microsoft, Toshiba, xbox 360 titles

For those of us who still want some HD-DVD love on our Xbox 360s, then good news: the downloadable emulator for the HD-DVD is now absolutely free, and one only needs to request a download token from the program's official website. Nope, no payment needed - the thing is going for absolutely nothing.

But why is it free now, you ask? Well, if you've been in the loop with the format wars, then you'd have caught wind that Blu-ray, HD-DVD's strongest competitor, came out on top - as evidenced by Toshiba making the announcement that they wouldn't be making HD-DVD players anymore. This is partly the reason, of course - Microsoft also wants the developers who still want to make projects based on HD-DVD a chance to do them at no added cost, hence the freebie.

As for those of us who paid full price for the emulator, you're not left out. Microsoft has announced that full refunds will be issued to those who bought the HD-DVD emulator. Not bad for a program that lets you develop and test complete HD-DVD projects, right?

So, if you've ever wanted to try this baby out, then go right ahead. It won't cost you a cent.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

You call getting back 100% only fair? That's friggen outstanding! That's way more then fair.

Plus it's 100% unexpected. When a business goes belly up do you get all your stock money back? Hell no. It doesn't work like that. Is everyone that bought an HD-DVD player going to get their money back? Hell no! And they shouldn't.

But if they did....that would be outstanding!
