This new accessory will connect to the Xbox 360 console with a USB cable, enabling it to harness the power of the Xbox 360 console for the HD video outputs and digital surround sound. As an accessory, it becomes another shining example of the flexibility of Xbox 360 designed into the console in order to grow and add new features. It's also just one of several new accessories being announced at E3.

''There aren't any Blu-ray players available to test, but if you compare the requirements on paper it's going to be a wash in terms of video quality,'' said Albert Penello, Director of Global Marketing at Xbox. ''At Microsoft, we've known that for some time. But the major difference is going to be price, and all the leading indicators point to HD DVD winning.''
