OzHub, the Macquarie Telecom-led cloud computing alliance, has come down firmly on the side of Optus over the copyright controversy surrounding Optus TV Now, warning that any moves to change the law "risk branding Australia a global luddite state."
A Toshiba senior executive has predicted that Microsoft will release an Xbox 360 model with an internal HD DVD drive before the end of the year.
According to the general manager of Toshiba Information Systems
Division in Australia, Mark Whittard, the high definition video war
between Toshiba’s HD DVD and Sony’s Blu-ray formats will spill over
into the games console market within months.
“One looming potential war extending from this is the Xbox versus
PlayStation,” says Whittard. “The Xbox is coming out with an HD DVD
player towards the end of this year. With Microsoft’s marketing engine
behind HD DVD, who knows what will happen.”
The Xbox 360 is coming out with a HD DVD player? This is news to us. We
were under the impression that there would just be a HD DVD plug-in
available.
“I would imagine that there are plans in place to put an HD DVD drive
internally in future revisions of the product,” says Whittard. “They’re
not speaking about it publicly at the moment but I would expect them to
do that and fairly soon.”
Whittard repeated his expectation that an Xbox 360 with an internal HD
DVD drive will be available soon during an interview where he refuted
claims that Toshiba is selling its HD DVD player at a loss.
