Just saw this on the xbox site HD-Dvd vs DVD for games. Click on hd demo to see this. I thought they had no plans to make games on hd dvd?

No, no, you can still have HD quality picture on a DVD disk! Its just for a 2 hour or so movie you'd need a lot of space thats why HD-DVD disks are used for films, but for games you don't need to use HD-DVD disks... well basically put anyway!

Yes, HD and HD-DVD are not the same thing.

Ya I don't know why they did that.

It should be a movie like the matrix or something than gears of war or else just say HD v SD instead of DVD v HD-DVD

Good so it wasn't just me. That video doesn't make any sense then.. you think they'd get it right when they're trying to advertise it as a selling point
