WMV HD files were originally meant to play on PC's only and not on standalone players.

The current crop of HD DVD players from Toshiba do not play WMV HD files. For video they can only play HD-DVD discs and regular DVD discs. I'm not too sure but I don't think the 360 add on does either. However, you can stream WMV HD files from your PC to the 360 using WMP 11.

There are standalone media players that can play WMV HD files such as the Digital Cowboy:
