After some initial denials by various Microsoft shills, Bill Gates has confirmed that an HD-DVD drive is coming for the Xbox 360 sometime in 2006. But, and these are some big buts, (a) it will be external, (b) it will apparently only be used for movies and not games, (c) no one has an idea on how it will actually connect to the Xbox 360.
Now I'll grant you that this isn't as big a dumb move as it could have been. If the external drive HAD been announced as being used for games, Microsoft would have split the game developers even more than they did when they announced the no-drive Core 360 in addition to the "real" 360. Having said that, wouldn't it have made more sense to put a HD-DVD drive in the thing to begin with? I just shake my head in puzzlement and disdain.
