A few weeks ago, we reported that people were
experiencing playback problems with Universal's HD DVD/DVD combo
discs. Unfortunately, these problems also seem to apply to the HD DVD version of 'Digital Video Essentials'. According to High-Def Digest, people on the AVS Forum have experienced a number of playback issues with the Xbox 360's HD DVD add on
drive.
While Joe Kane's highly-anticipated calibration disc finally hit stores last Tuesday, many owners of the Xbox 360 HD
DVD add-on had a rude awakening when they attempted to boot up the disc, experiencing a series of hiccups and outright stalls that
rendered key portions of the disc unplayable.
Needlesstosay, the complaints quickly found their way online, and onto the boards at
AVS Forum. But as readers there were relieved to find out, the disc's distributor is aware of the problem, and promises that the next
Xbox 360 dashboard update will solve it.
Xbox 360 owners shouldn't have to wait long for a fix as the next dashbord update
will be released on May 7th. If you'd like to read more, the entire article can be found here.
