Whenever SPOnG turns on its Xbox 360, we're delighted by the High Def experience. We love the storage space. Xbox Live continuously delights us. But... we've always felt something was missing. Fortunately, a Microsoft rep has identified it for us and given us hope that the situation may soon be rectified - with an Xbox that makes coffee.
Responding to a routine question about whether a 360 with an internal HD-DVD drive is in the works to Seattle Post Intelligencer, a Microsoft representative said:
"As far as prototype HD-DVD 360s, we do all sorts of testing, and prototyping. I'm sure somewhere at Microsoft there's an Xbox that makes coffee or something.
"While I don't have any knowledge of the existence of an HD-DVD 360, it wouldn't surprise me. That said, we've stated quite vehemently that games would not be on HD-DVD, we won't split the market."
We're assuming the HD-DVD question was asked a while ago and the answer was saved for a rainy day, given the
death of the format over a month ago...
Anyway, Xbox coffee maker. Bring it!
