Xbox 360 HD DVD player ready for holidays: Microsoft

Hypnosis4U2NV used our news submit to tell us about this story he discovered over at Yahoo! Looks like Microsoft will have their HD-DVD external USB drive ready for Xbox 360 fans in time for the holiday buying frenzy! Unfortunately there is a frenzy already with the news of Sony not getting an exclusive hold on GTA4. This is leading to conflicting and misleading reports. Whereas the game will be available in October, the majority of reports indicate availability for both consloles to be October of 2007!

We can pretty much see around the web that people are not seeing that 7 on the end of the year and mistakenly are reporting 2006. At least on this CNN Money report that came out 1 hour ago, you can see what is probably the correct date, October 16, 2007.

Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) will release an HD DVD player for its Xbox 360 video game machine for the 2006 holiday season, and there will be a total of 160 titles for the new console by the holidays, Peter Moore, the head of the company"s game business said on Tuesday. He also said "Grand Theft Auto 4," the sequel to the best-selling series, would be available in October for Xbox 360.
