Xbox 360 To Get Blu-Ray By September

Microsoft is still holding its position that the death of HD-DVD doesn't mean that Xbox 360 will be getting a Blu-Ray attachment any time soon, but the Chinese beg to differ.

According to the Chinese Economic Daily News, Pegatron, an OEM subsidiary of ASUS, has won the order from Microsoft to assemble "Xbox 360 consoles with Blu-Ray drives".

Shipments are expected to begin within Q3 2008 and the consoles should be available for consumers by Q4, same year.
