No more HD DVD Xbox 360

Wars don't end cleanly, there's always an aftermath. This is one bit of that:

We just heard over the 'ole wire that Microsoft will stop producing HD DVD players for the Xbox 360.

For a couple of years now, the company has offered an HD DVD peripheral to hook up to your Xbox 360, but with blu-ray now the definitive winner of the next-gen DVD wars, even Microsoft is packing up shop.

What's funny about this is, it was only a few weeks ago that Microsoft dropped the price on the player in an effort to boost sales of the whole line of HD DVD products. Well, apparently that was a last-ditch effort.

Now, rumor mill, I officially proclaim you can start churning out those Blu-Ray 360 rumors.
