According to the article, Toshiba (yes, you read that correctly) and Samsung have been asked to come up with the external Blu-ray solution for the Xbox 360. Rumors are also floating around claiming a $100-to-$150 price point. With Blu-ray playback remaining as one of the few advantages the PlayStation 3 has over the Xbox 360, one would imagine Microsoft would want to release this immediately to level the Blu-ray bragging rights issue. If this information is accurate, we're left wondering how Microsoft will play this. Do they try and get this out in time for the holidays? Or do they wait to debut it at a show (like CES) where we're likely to see standalone Blu-ray players fall in price anyway? http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-100 ... ag=nl.e501 __________________________________________________ YAY!

Dingo_D Posts: 797 Joined: February th 28 2008, 12:18 pm	Microsoft has Xbox 360 Blu-ray drives ready to go The Blu-Ray drive if it does get released is just for movies only. Won't affect games but it'll probably be in the next XBOX though. But why the heck would I want to watch BR movies on a 360 when I got a PS3 that's built around the BR! _________________ DINGO'S PRO FLIGHT TIPS AND TRICKS

THey coming out early in the "console wars" has cost them a leg and a foot. While Sony and Nintendo were shining up their consoles for the showdown. so funny. hahas. Microsoft just loves stealing other people's thunder. They made an XMB look-alike in the new XBE.. what else are they gonna do? _________________ Currently Playing: PlayStation 3 - Gran Turismo 5: Prologue - LittleBigPlanet

Technospaz Posts: 3615 Joined: February th 28 2008, 2:04 pm Location: Singapore	Microsoft has Xbox 360 Blu-ray drives ready to go I wonder if their games are going to be BD games too? I doubt it, which also means further limitations. So, it's strictly a BD player attached to a 360. Personally, that doesn't quite work. The PS3 still rules. _________________

In anycase it will not affect ps3 if 360 gets blu ray as i doubt it has the processing power required =) _________________ Justice for the 96 Take a minute from your busy life and spare a thought or maybe a short prayer for the 96 who lost their lives on April 15 RIP YNWA

If the Xbox360 had a ready Blu-ray exterior drive for playing games.. maybe FF13 and GTA 4 content wouldn't be sized down to the capacity of a DVD just so the 2 console versions are able to stay similar. Because of MS infamous money bribing ways to game developers.. PS3 games get affected. A blu-ray is bloody 50 gigs but games nowadays are about multiplatform which really affects most developers to fully utilise the blu-ray and PS3 capabilities. Look at Metal Gear Solid 4, that game is choked with lengthy voice acting and real time cinematics that can go on for at least an hour (the epic ending) because Konami utilised the power of the blu-ray till it's brink. _________________ PSN ID : terrakaze Now Playing: Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare, Tekken 6, Street Fighter IV (PC/PS3), Demon Souls, Dragon Age Origins, Left4dead 2, Bayonetta, Uncharted 2 & God Of War Collection Gaming "Wishlist" 1.
