Default [Kotaku] NO BLU-Ray for XBOX 360

Quote:
Despite what Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer may have implied, the company has "no plans" to bring Blu-ray playing accessories to the Xbox 360, according to a statement from the company.

Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb posting on his Xbox 360-centric blog today that Ballmer wasn't speaking about the Xbox platform during his interview with Gizmodo, instead saying those accessories were bound for the PC. More "poorly chosen words" or just a simple misunderstanding?

This actually kind of makes sense.

Quoted from the other article
Quote:
When I asked Ballmer about adding Blu-ray to the Xbox, he said:

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.
It was probably a misunderstanding. He probably meant that they don't need to add blu-ray for the xbox 360, but you'll be able to get blu-ray drive accessories for the PC, like an external drive?
Maybe?

this is stupid, since you can buy internal blu ray drives then i really dont see the point to get an external drive for your pc, and you might as well buy a blu ray player for what M$ would charge you.

actually no - MS has denied several hundred times over the past 2 years that there will not be any blu-ray for xbox 360. Rumors keep popping up and being shot right down.

And really, Sony was just saying 'no comment' to all the ps3 price cut speculation

What does this have to do with the PC again?

The topic of discussion at that point was on how the Xbox 360 is being marketed as a home media center, so when Ballmer said "blu-ray drives as accessories" he meant accessories to the 360, not accessors for the 360.

Basically when he said "drives" he meant to say "players", as in standalone players to accompany the 360 in your home theater.

Either the 360 will get it as an addon or MS's next console will have it. It's only a matter of time.
