The lights are on
At least the boys over at the Dutch gaming site GameKings are finding a use for their Xbox 360 HD-DVD player! As news spread throughout the Internet of a Xbox 360 “Slim” sighting (following the GameKings story), a few cooler heads helpfully pointed out that the supposed unit bares a tremendous resemblance to the ill-fated Xbox 360 HD-DVD player. By “resemblance” we mean that it actually IS a Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive.
We know that – despite all evidence – Internet rumors die hard. So, just to drive the point home, we did our own photo emulating the “proof” photo shown on Game Kings. Look familiar?

They should of waited till April 1st. Even if they don't have that "holiday" over there, it still would of been a good one.
Haha, oh man that's a great laugh... I wondered how long it would take someone to come up with something to do with their HD DVD player.
poor HD DVD player... still getting flak after all this time.
I almost bought one of those back when the format war was still going on.
haha...i still have movies for my hd dvd player
I knew from the beginning there wouldn't be a 360 Slim. What a stupid idea.
Microsoft has to get the first system right before they want to make a more compact version...
I thought I already had an X-Box 360 Slim, but now I know I just have an HD-DVD player. :(
I knew it was fake. A system that large with so many parts couldn't all fit in there. (and for the 360 overheating problem that might explode lol)
I forget in which issue of GI, they even mentioned that they all felt like it was to soon for a new next next-gen console for PS3, Wii or 360.
lol who would actually think Microsoft would put out a slim. They cant even get the original to run right.
nice
FAIL.
Not suprised at this. If they were gonna do slim systems, why didn't the original get the same treatment?
This could fool a fool!
Unsuccessful trolls are incredibly amusing.
so xbox isnt going to copy again good good
I remember my friend telling me of this, he thought it was real.
