Lite-On Delayed in Securing OEM Xbox 360 HD DVD Orders
>> From digitimes.com:
[QUOTE]
Microsoft originally planned to select Taiwan-based Lite-On IT as a new OEM maker for its Xbox 360 external HD DVD accessory with shipments to begin in April. However, Lite-On IT has had to delay its volume production schedule as it has not yet received product certification from Microsoft, according to industry sources in Taiwan.
Toshiba currently undertakes OEM production of such HD DVD drives which are for sale mainly in the US market, the sources indicated. In order to minimize OEM costs and to prepare for the launch of the HD DVD drives in the Asia Pacific market in the spring of 2007, Microsoft planned to place OEM orders with Lite-On IT, the sources pointed out. While Lite-On IT has devoted R&D effort in order to fulfill the deal, Microsoft has very high product standards which are causing the certification process to take longer than originally expected, the sources noted.
