I thought I heard Microsoft "absolutely will not release a Blu-Ray" add-on?

If they do, it will be Holiday 2008 when I will get it.

Dark side is Blu-Ray ? Its just a format. Its not like I'm going to get a Pl*ySt*t**n 3.


Pegatron Technologies is being related to Microsoft. Pegatron is associated with Blu-Ray.

News about 'Xbox 360 Blu-Ray' is going around. And some are confused...

'Xbox 360 Blu-Ray' or 'Xbox 360 Blu-Ray Add-on' ? The former would not make sense. Microsoft does not like changing the internal parts of Xbox 360. Its usually just minor changes.

Microsoft will be releasing a new Xbox 360 version late 2008/early 2009, codenamed Jasper.

That said, an Add-on would make more sense as current Xbox 360 users can opt whether or not to buy it.

I still don't understand why Microsoft looks at Blu-Ray disc format as 'only a optical movie format' but not 'game disc format'. Blu-Ray is the future of optical discs and we all know that.

I know Xbox 3 will have a Blu-Ray built in. If not, Microsoft has to come up with their own disc format.

Guys,
I received confirmation from a game shop owner that an external Blu-ray player will be available very soon.
Anybody wanna get it?
The price is ranged at RM600-700.
Has anyone any information on such a fact?

Wow... just the thought of Free Gold Membership... biggrin.gif

Xbox 360 n Blu-Ray = forget it. I think its time to move on... Microsoft won't give Blu-Ray to 360 owners.

Xbox 3 = most likely. Better be. Not just for 'movie format' but a 'game format' as well. Game devs cannot cramp everything into multiple DVDs.. sweat.gif

We can't have publishers produce games on Blu-ray disc. Because then they won't play on the 28 million Xboxes we've already shipped. So it doesn't help us in the core gaming space."


That means Xbox 3 'might' just have Blu-Ray.
