I have a hard time believing this would ever be used for games (just given the history of previous add-on peripherals and support for them)..... and if so, it seems like it would be limited to maybe a few special edition ones.
I really have to wonder what the purpose of this would be. I can't see how an external HD-DVD drive would really integrate well with the XBOX360 just in terms of appearance, and I wonder what benefit you would get from using that to watch HD-DVD's through the XBOX 360 vs. just going ahead and getting a standalone HD-DVD player. The XBOX 360 doesn't even seem that impressive as a DVD player as it is (can someone tell me if it's actually the case that it doesn't even have any sort of resume memory? When I play DVD's with it, it forgots any settings or where I was watching something if I turn it off and turn it on again), so I can't see why I'd want to choose it as an HD-DVD player either.
