Xbox 360 to go Blu in May

[JPB]

WE THOUGHT GAME DEVELOPERS might be the first to out this kind of info but noooo.

It seems cunning hacks from Aussie site Smarthouse have obtained a confession from a Microsoft insider claiming that the Vole may hatch a Blu-ray spawn for its gaming console, as early as May 2008.

According to Smarthouse, apart from the obvious dead-end that HD-DVD will become in no time at all, several Volish business partners have already informed the console-dabbling software firm of their intention to opt for the Sony format, forcing the Vole?s paw in the matter.

In all fairness, La Vole?s, ?we?re committed to the HD-DVD camp? argument didn?t fly (or is this 20/20 hindsight?) ? the fact that Xbox 360 didn?t ship with a HD-DVD unit was a dead giveaway.

Let?s see if Tosh buys a Blu-ray licence, now...

It about time Microsoft is on it's game with at least something if true.

Obviously, MS is going to support blu-ray if only to take away one of the PS3's selling points.

Despite the fact that the PS3 is quiet, I'm sure the 360 drive will be both ugly and loud, in proper microsoft fashion.

I'd probably buy an BD addon.

There is no question that both MS and Toshiba will make Blu Ray drives. They are in business to make money. They arent going to pack up and go home and wait for yet another format.

Lies. Sony never sold a VHS or DVD player. Pride is more important than profit.

talk about a misleading thread title.
