X06: Xbox 360 HD DVD Update

28 Sep, 2006, 1:35 pm IST | Avinash Bali |

As we mentioned in our TGS 2006 coverage, Microsoft is planning on launching an external HD DVD drive for the Xbox 360 this November and here's a better look at this player:

  • The Xbox 360 HD DVD Player offers stunning video and immersive surround-sound audio, with six times higher resolution than DVD (up to1080p) through a component or VGA connection after the fall 2006 console update.
  • Innovative interactive content capabilities enable picture-in-picture commentary, scene selection and menu access — all while the movie is playing.
  • Users can enjoy blockbuster HD DVD releases, with more than 150 titles available by holiday season 2006 from major movie studios including HBO, Paramount Pictures, StudioCanal, Universal Studios and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.
  • Only HD DVD offers a "combo" disc: a DVD on one side allows playback on all existing DVD players, in your home or car; the other side is compatible with the HD DVD Player.
  • The player works seamlessly with your Xbox 360 system, using the system's processing power and audio connections to deliver the highest possible video and sound quality.
  • Setup is easy: Just plug the HD DVD Player into the USB port on your Xbox 360 console and jump in.

The HD DVD Player will retail at Rs 10,000 (approx) and will ship with the Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote and an HD DVD of Peter Jackson's King Kong.

It's quite short and it doesn't have any sort of versus multiplayer but The Darkness II is a polished and brutal shooter you should definitely check out, especially if you like ripping dudes to shreds.
