In an attempt to further spur development for its chosen next-generation DVD platform, Microsoft is making a HD-DVD emulator available for $2,999.

Microsoft says by offering an inexpensive way to test HD-DVD videos for their playability before the movies are burned to disc, this should in turn reduce the number of problems with disc playback. All the testers need is a connection to Xbox Live and a console to use the emulator.
