Microsoft put up an information page about the HD DVD peripheral that it will be selling for the Xbox 360 later this year. Remember that this device will connect to the Xbox 360 through a USB cable, and that the Xbox 360’s video outputs will be used to connect the player to a display. If you want HDMI, you’ll have to buy a standalone player from Toshiba.

Microsoft’s product page is missing two vital pieces of information everyone is waiting for, however. We still don’t know the HD DVD peripheral’s launch date, and we still don’t know the price. Though we know from what they’ve said previously that it’ll cost less than $450 or so. Everybody is guessing that it’ll cost in the $200 range.
