It appears, reported by Digi-Times, that Microsoft is selecting some Taiwan manufacturers to provide an internal HD-DVD drive for the 360...
This would be to combat the PlayStation 3 Blu-Ray equivalent console system and would probably be produced as a new SKU (boxed unit).
The report states:
I wonder if, in the future, these internal HD-DVD systems will be able to play movies and new games developed for HD-DVD format. Hopefully 2007 will answer many of the growing questions.

The report states:
Microsoft will offer an external HD-DVD drive for its Xbox 360 at around the end of this year, in an attempt to complete with Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3), which will have a built-in Blu-ray Disc (BD) drive, the sources indicated. The external HD-DVD drive, however, can only play back movies, sources noted.Digi-Times sources say Microsoft plans to announce this special Xbox 360 model in the first quarter of 2007.
