Speaking with Reuters, Microsoft's Xbox 360 group product manager Aaron Greenberg dismissed the possibility of an Xbox 360 Blu-ray drive attachment.
Exactly one week ago, Sony Electronics US president Stan Glasgow revealed that they are discussing Blu-ray adoption with both Microsoft and Apple. Later on, Microsoft's chief executive, Steve Ballmer, told the Mix08 conference that the company was in talks over possible moves for supporting Blu-ray in Windows.
"Toshiba has moved on. We've moved on, and we'll support Blu-ray in ways that make sense," stated Steve Ballmer.
But it seems that Microsoft intends to support Blu-ray in Windows only. Xbox 360 fans will have to do with digital downloads through Xbox Live. "Xbox is not currently in talks with Sony or the Blu-ray Association to integrate Blu-ray into the Xbox experience," said Aaron Greenberg. "We're the only console offering digital distribution of entertainment content."

Anonymous at 23:28 - Idiot Sony does not control blue ray a consortium does and they will do anything to make money! It's only cause Microsoft are so stuck up their own **** and trying to push digital download on everyone that they refused a blue ray add-on.
No Blu-ray For Xbox 360 After All
Actualy blu ray is Sony's newest form of media. It is owned by Sony. It probably not owned by the section of Sony that makes PS3, but it is owned by Sony. So Xbox 360 getting blu ray would be like ps3 getting Windows Vista. Maybe you should do a bit of research before posting smart one.

Anonymousat 5:10... with that in mind I guess we should forget the fact that sony vaio pc's run on windows vista?Microsoft denied any attempts at adding a blu-ray player, they weren't rejected

wel with games like mgs4 barely fitting on a blu-ray disc, what hope does the sexbox have now?

It's all downhill from here for the sorry *** xbox 360
No Blu-ray For Xbox 360 After All
metal gear games have always been ridiculously big. sons of liberty was around 10GB, which is incredibly much for a game released in 2002.so MGS titles are exceptions.

- "it just gets worse and worse for msoft, i told everybody that sony will lead, but nobody believed me, so suck my dingdong."Yet imo Nintendo leads.

Frontlines fuel of war was a 16 gig install on my pc, games are only getting bigger each time, how are they going to fit on a dvd, quality will slowly have to be reduced for the 360 until people take notice

sony fagggsss its alll video not game play so it dont matterand pc rules not gaaaystaton 3
No Blu-ray For Xbox 360 After All
im not much of a fanboy for either but it sucks for the 360 you dont get the option of being able to buy a blu-ray drive add-on if u wanted one. I can stream all the video i would want from pc to either console but the extra storage space on a disc isn't gunna hurt. pay roughly the same for a game whichever console, i know i'd rather have lossless sound. that won't fit on a dvd.unless the games small. like your c**k
No Blu-ray For Xbox 360 After All
I know I dont care. consoles blow and are for half-brained laymen who cant use pcs.
No Blu-ray For Xbox 360 After All
wii and ps3 go good together, don't really need an xbox360 if i have a good pc, same games, exclusives make for better sales.
No Blu-ray For Xbox 360 After All
no surprise. Blu-ray players are required HDMI for 1080p output, and profile 2 requires storage space. M$ isn't going to release a blu-ray add-on if would only work on a small number of their consoles, it'd **** off alot of people already feeling stupid for buying an hd-dvd add-on.
No Blu-ray For Xbox 360 After All
It's over Bill. The format developed by and for BIG MEDIA (invasive copy "protection" ftw) has won.

in two years there will be a new and better format which rivals blue ray lol. who fuc*ing cares.
No Blu-ray For Xbox 360 After All
"We're the only console offering digital distribution of entertainment content."Playstation Store, anyone?Anyways, Sony owns the Blu-Ray format... Why do you think that it's Sony that Microsoft talked to about the format?
No Blu-ray For Xbox 360 After All
"in two years there will be a new and better format which rivals blue ray lol. who fuc*ing cares."No there won't. Not in 2 years. 10...maybe, but not 2. Don't be silly kid.
