EDIT: Who cares who Jim To is? It is probably the guy's superior or someone who will be collecting all the units at the end of the testing or dev phase.

Unless the dev kits have larger Samsung HDD's, the drive would be the new compact 2.5" Seagates. Those will be the standard drive in the 360 and will possibly come in different sizes in storage later on. The kits must have somthing Samsung in it, probably the dvd-drive since they haven't confirmed hd-dvd as standard, yet.

just because toshiba owns the HD-DVD tech doesn't mean that they're the only ones who can makes the drives.
Sony owns regular DVD tech... you don't see every DVD drive being made by Sony now do you?
Also isn't Samsung MS's "HD Partner" or something?

MS has an extensive deal with Samsung for MANY parts and offers. LCD screens for in-store displays, DVD drives, HDD's, RAM... I'm sure that that Samsung label could refer to any number of things crammed into that box. And Twisted is right, just because Toshiba is the main holder of HD-DVD doesn't mean that they can't licence it to Samsung.

Aren't they try repeat themselves by making it release same date as x1??

Who says it's going to support Hd -Dvd's anyways?.. It comes with standard dvd support like the current xbox. And yes.. that info is confirmed.

Well it could be DVD, could be HD, it could refer to the RAM... who knows what the samsung means.
A person made a comment some where, the type of DVD drive in dev-kits doesn't need to be the same kind as the one in the final version. M$ is writing the code to access the DVD(Or HD) drive, and as such changes can be made.

Much what are you babbling on about? You are comparing the games based on the drives that were in the Xbox 1.
Those companies have had time to perfect their technologies.

lol, not Thompson
their quality control is just not ready for mass production drives. those original ones before MS talked to them, they only had a couple hundred. MS liked it and just walked buy and said "hey can you make a million by next year?" so they tried, but many died.
