Xbox 360 to Get Internal HD-DVD Drive That Can Burn?  by Craig D at 11:40

XBox
Strong rumours this morning that the Xbox 360 is about to get a bit of an upgrade, with an internal HD-DVD drive which may well have disk burning capability, you can read more at The Register.

I'm not quite sure how well that would go down with current 360 owners, but it does seem a sensible move if Microsoft want to use the console as movie purchasing and downloading medium. Still, I wouldn't get too excited as it's just as likely to be complete rubbish as true.

Because the standard HDD on the 360 is 20GB and HD-DVDs can store upto 30GB, so if your Dl'in movies you'll fill up your harddisk in a day or two.
