That's why the xBox360 only comes with a previous generation DVD-ROM.

One of the main benefits to having Blu-Ray is that the game programmers can plan for every unit having one. xBox programmers are limited to 8GB on a DVD-9 disk while the PS3 can have 25GB.

Blowing $200 on the HD-DVD accessory will allow HD movies but there will never be games to use it.
