HD-DVD Player for your PC!	Can't Post

The news is just in that the Xbox 360 HD-DVD player is compatible with a Windows XP (and Vista) PC. The drivers are on the internet from Toshiba and if you have Windows Vista, the drivers are already in. The player is supposedly a good deal at only $199 (comes with King Kong HD and a Windows Media Center compatible remote).

Wow, that is awesome. That should help Microsoft move a few more of these units as well. I wonder how wide spread that information will beome? How did you learn about this?

Thanks,
