Author:

Microsoft will release and update to the device in order to fix bugs, but also to add new features. Recently it was discovered that the HD-DVD add-on drive has issues in audio track playback of HD-DVD titles, which has been described as “static popping” and “clipping” noises. Microsoft has however acknowledged this issue and will be delivering a software update for the device. The update will also bring DTS audio support and improved compatibility with HD-DVD titles.

“We plan on shipping an update to the Xbox 360 HD DVD player in early to mid spring. In this update we will be adding DTS output, improved Audio, and improved title compatibility,” relayed the Microsoft employee, according to what he had heard from the Xbox team. “The variability there is that this is a software project and we are fixing/enhancing a lot of things and we want to make sure we get them right. So it is difficult to give an exact day for the update.”
