Xbox 360用HD DVDドライブはPCで使用可能(といえば可能)

by Ittousai Oct 18th 2006 @ 3:00AM

プレイステーション3のBlu-rayに対抗するXbox 360用のHD DVDドライブは2万790円の外付けオプションとして販売されますが、USB接続ということで気になるのがPCにつないで使えるのかどうか。Windows PC用の外付けHD DVDドライブとしても使えるならなんとなくお得な気だけはします。

ドイツのサイトGolem.deが「PCに接続して使えますか？」とマイクロソフトに問い合わせたところ、答えはなんと「可能」。しかしWindows用のドライバが用意されていないため、単なるDVDを読むだけドライブになるとのこと。

要するに使えないという結論です。とはいえ、中身はPCと変わらない東芝製ドライブらしいことを考えれば、いずれ公式非公式に何らかの方法で使えるようにならないとも限りません。
