Microsoft Ramp Up with HD DVD

Microsoft are ramping up their HD DVD efforts with word of a new promotion, just announced at Comic-Con International:

Today at Comic-Con International 2007, Microsoft Corp. announced it will lower the price of the popular Xbox 360(TM) HD DVD Player from $199 to $179 ERP (United States only) starting Aug. 1, 2007, and will add five free HD DVD movies for anyone purchasing an Xbox 360 HD DVD Player between Aug. 1 and Sept. 30. In addition, Microsoft further solidified the Xbox 360 as the ultimate high-definition (HD) entertainment platform, with key announcements around the HD DVD launches of "300" from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group and "Heroes: Season 1" from Universal Studios.

The press release has more details.

This is obviously a US-only change (for now at least), but it'll be interesting to see how (and if) the Blu-Ray camp decides to respond.

It will be a sad day in technology history if Blu-ray wins. Personally I don't like the idea of having root-kits installed on my hardware. Not to mention other questionable acts by Sony.
