Maybe not 'in the drive', but a patch 'on the xbox360' as it connects 
through SATA? to the drive.

What's more interesting is that the xbox HD-DVD drive works on a PC and 
is blowing out last stock now for $49.99 with a set of films last I 
heard. But of course, $49.99 translates to ?110 in the uk. Even though 
HD-DVD may have allegedly lost the war, there must be huge stock that 
may outsell bluray while stocks last ;)

I think it's ludicrous that there isn't enough market space for both, 
ignoring anti-competitive strategies for a moment...
