XBOX360 goes High-Def

NewsFactor.com:

Microsoft is taking its Xbox 360 game console to the next level with the introduction of a high-definition video player that promises to draw players into the action and deliver sights and sounds that surpass anything available today.

The software giant announced its Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on player on the home turf of Japanese gaming giants Sony and Nintendo, both of whom are poised to deliver next-generation consoles.

Microsoft also said that later this year it will provide a software upgrade so that Xbox 360 consoles can handle both games and movies in high-definition, 1080p resolution.
