Lite-On to make add-on HD DVD player for Xbox 360


Just a little info on the possible future manufacturers of the add-on for the 360. It would be nice to think that demand is so high that MS needs another supplier other than Toshiba.

Lite-On IT next year will start making add-on an HD-DVD player for Microsoft's Xbox 360 game console, which is currently supplied by Toshiba, according to the Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN). The paper added that Lite-On's revenues for the fourth quarter will rise sequentially because of increases in half-height DVD-burner shipments.Lite-On

  • Toshiba HD-XA2, HD Add-on, Panasonic DMP-BD10A
  • Pioneer VSX-94TXH, Panasonic PT-AE 2000U 1080p (delivered but not mounted yet)
  • 252 HD DVDs, 65 BD DVDs, and over 1560 - SD DVDs and going down
  • New buying strategy - I will continue to buy Universal and Paramount HD DVD's, but if it available in both formats, Blu-ray now gets my purchase.

Isn't the XBOX 360 user base around 6 million? If so, that's a big market to feed!

If the counts are right, the XBOx 360 should just be passing 8 million. At the rate it is selling this season, it is likely to be just over 9 million by the end of the year. 100,000 add on's have been rumured to have been sold already.
