Microsoft has Not Heard from Toshiba Regarding HD-DVD

Microsoft, via its Gamerscore blog, has apparently released its first words on what is rapidly becoming the hideously elongated death of HD-DVD. Inside the statement is what appears to be the fact that Toshiba has not yet let its partners into what and when its final decision is going to be with regard to the format.



So, there it is... so far. Those looking for hints of a Blu-ray drive in the near future might like to dig around the "we will continue to give consumers the choice" phrase in the last paragraph. Until we hear from Microsoft, we're not holding our breath. Although the idea that it won't provide a Blu-ray option eventually is fanciful unless it moves totally behind online digital delivery of movies. It's going to be interesting to see what Microsoft Game Studios is making of all of this.
