Selecting the top half will play a game or regular DVD and selecting the bottom half will play a HD-DVD. When you connect the player to the console, the on-screen button that previously stated "Play" changes into a disc split into two halves. Using the HD-DVD drive from the Xbox 360 dashboard is very simple. As an added bonus, since the drive has two USB ports, there is now a spare port that wasn't previously available, offering extra support for USB devices. The reason for this is that the adapter usually occupies the rear USB port of the 360, but since the HD-DVD drive now uses it, the adapter needs to be moved. It also a clip on the back which supports the Xbox wireless internet adapter. It has two regular USB 2.0 ports, as well as a mini USB "I/O" port, which is used to connect it to the Xbox 360. The unit connects to the console via USB 2.0.

The unit was a breeze to set up, with the whole installation process taking us just a few minutes.
