Skip to contentGates to announce HD-DVD Enabled 360 at CES?
Seems like those quick withdrawals of admission on the part of Microsoft last year regarding the possibility of an HD-DVD enabled Xbox 360 were a little premature, if CNN Money’s sources are to be believed.
According to the source, Microsoft is expected to make a slew of announcements at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show which kicks off this week in Las Vegas. Bill Gates, the keynote speaker at this year’s CES, is expected to reveal more information on the rumored HD-DVD upgrade to the 360 on Wednesday.
“Microsoft is also expected to make several announcements at CES, but will mainly use the show as the chance to talk about Vista, its first upgrade to its Windows operating system in five years. Gates has used past keynotes at CES to announce new products, including the Xbox 360. Richard Doherty, an analyst with research firm Envisioneering Group, said that while he thinks Gates’ main message will concern Vista, he also thinks Gates will talk about HD-DVD as part of Xbox 360.”
