New 360 To Come With Internal HD-DVD?

According to NewLaunches, sources with Taiwan's optical manufacturing state that the next revision of the 360 will have an internal HD-DVD. If true, it poses some interesting questions (like will the 360 finally see an HDMI port?)

Whether HD-DVD would then become required for games would be another interesting twist, although an unlikely one unless Microsoft is looking to abandon their early adopters. More likely this will simply coincide with lower costs of manufacturing and reside at a new tier above the premium package but essentially have the same features as someone who added the HD-DVD drive to their console.
