Xbox HD-DVD Drive Due Soon?
With E3 coming up real fast, and Microsoft not having as big announcements as Sony and Nintendo (which are about to drop new consoles), Microsoft just has to do something interesting at the big game show. While unveiling Halo 3 would be huge, its more likely that Engadget is on the ball when they pass on the rumor that Microsoft will drop the Xbox 360’s HD-DVD add-on drive.
Microsoft has said the drive will arrive this year, so E3 would be the right time for us to get it. Also, we could see HDCP compliance for the 360, a DVI cable, or the camera. I’m hoping Microsoft releases a bunch of 360 peripherals, since that would give the 360 the appearance of being a mature platform when the PS3 hits and has some of the same launch problems Microsoft had to deal with.

So...how many Xbox owners are angry now that they bought the console and then the hard drive came out and then the new drive is coming out?

The HD has always been available, it's not like MS only sold the basic then decided to offer the full package later, then people would have a right to complain.
Despite, I don't get why anybody wants the HD-DVD option, I mean all it will offer is movie playback, games won't make use of it. Perhaps it will mean a cheaper solution to go HD-DVD as it won't cost $499 like current HD-DVD players do.
Console add-ons have always been a bad idea, even if people like them, there is never wide enough adoption for them to succeed.
