At least thats what half of Eastbourne thinks

I put an ad in a local rag:

"Telly for sale. Nice Telly. Pretty Telly. Capable of HD so would suit an Xbox 360 gamer. The Telly works. The Telly has a remote. Just a nice colour lcd Telly, call..."

And I got 100 calls today, one every three minutes "Ohhhh, im ringing up about the Xbox 360 which you advertised for sale in the local paper is it sold yet, how much do you want for it??!!"

FFS, learn to read you MORONS!!

And no its not for sale, before you lot start asking

This is the same people buying pictures of x-boxes on ebay. If your advert confuses, imagine how their brains respond to deliberate obfuscation of facts!

One born every minute and all that.

Is there really an DH DVD 360 coming out? What about games? Surely they are going to come on multiple disks if they are big, or will HD DVD games be released along side the standard format (same game, just less disks?)

Not according to MS.

But then who knows what they might decide in 6-12 months time.....

ok put yourself in MS shoes, tell the world you have a HD DVD version coming out when the PS3 is out with its blue ray drive, 45gb... ... do you think that would effect current sales? of course.

mabe they will bring out a external HD DVD drive to make it compatible?

I doubt the games will be offered on both normal dvd and HD format, would cost too much and no one will want to play a next gen console and have to swap disks 3-4 times to load it up.. .. .. .. .
