Cable Forum - View Single Post - Microsoft & Toshiba Allegedly Developing New Xbox

El Reg are speculating that the product is likely to be marketed by Toshiba (thereby maybe getting past the Japanese problem with Microsoft), and that, possibly, the whole shebang will be built into a HDTV. Just imagine. One box capable of showing Freeview, HD DVD, Xbox and Standard Def TV with only a couple of extra cables.

If it takes off, I can see Sony merging the PS3 with one of their HDTVs.
