October 22, 2009 - It seems Microsoft hasn't given up on adding high-definition disc movie playback to the Xbox 360.

In an interview with Gizmodo, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was asked if we'll ever see a Xbox 360 with a built in Blu-ray disc drive.

"Well I don't know if we need to put Blu-ray in there—you'll be able to get Blu-ray drives as accessories," said Ballmer

yeah but later he says the xbox 360 solution to blu ray is 1080p digital distribution. if they were to add a blu ray accessory it would have to be later when blu ray drive prices plummet, its just too expensive of a risk right now.

yeah but then they will just change to "our games are now on blu ray". even without the accessory we can say "who gives a fuck about blu ray, we stream 1080p movies directly to the xbox".

at least 343 will be happy if this is true.

king i15thAggressor's opinion:-


Firstly i'll start by stating my personal opinion on Blu-Ray. I think that Blu-Ray is an Amazing incredibly unnecessary feature and therfor I oppose the introduction of Blu-Ray to the Xbox 360. This is probably mainly due to the fact that I was a fan of HD-DVD. As a result of my unconditional support of HD-DVD I backed companies like Toshiba in their decision to stick with the format.

Another main reason for me disliking Blu-Ray is the fact that it has appeared to make very little difference to the quality of graphics on the PS3. After all I think that the Xbox 360 has the capability to challenge graphics found on the PS3.

Furthermore if Blu-Ray was added to the 360 the price would soar to unimaginable new levels. It would be like coating kanine excrement (something which somewhat reminds me of a Nintendo Wii) in a valuable material such as platinum. tongue

I everyone values and respects my opinion.

X Cellence 4 LIFE.

The only blu ray movies that are worth a damn are animated stuff from pixar and disney. They look incredible in HD. Live action stuff, on the other hand, is hit or miss.
