Well, we all knew this was coming sooner or later… Microsoft announced on Saturday that all production of the HD DVD attachment for the 360 has been stopped. Microsoft will, however, continue to honor the warranty for the drives that have already been sold. Additionally, the company said that the failure of HD DVD and the decision to stop selling the players will have “no material impact” on its video game business.
