So now we know that the 360 might get some kind of a blue ray drive which will be just another accesory,price is probably gonna be through the roof.Apparently M$ has finally realized that without blue ray the 360 wont survive.Thats my opinion.What say u?

it will probably cost at least 200, but since microsoft overprices their accessories it will probably be 250-300.

Nah, I don't think so. I think they just want to steal some of Sony's thunder. Somehow.

that would just be not getting value for your money. buy a blu-ray player for 200-300 and you cant even use it for games?

great news for blu-ray. i really dont want to stream or download my media only anytime soon. so m$ making a move to promote blu-ray is a good thing. it really hasnt taken off yet as it should, once george lucas commits to blu ray and re-releases his movies on blu-ray. than we can move to streaming media.

360 + Blu-Ray?

This will make the 360 ULTIMATE!!!!

--------

My whole life, I always dreamed of this moment, and now it's finally here. Yes!

I've been dying for a Blu-Ray player for my HDTV's, and I've been waiting.

"I've been waiting for a Blu like you, to come into my life
I've been waiting for a Blu like you, your loving will survive
I've been waiting for something new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a BLU like you to come into my life...

Absolute fail. The expensive accessories that have been released proves how outdated the Xbox 360 really is. Instead of creating an updated sku with built in wifi and blu ray drive, they take the easy way out once again by attaching dongle after dongle. Hopefully by 2012, Microsoft will have implemented better thought in creating their next console.

what if they actually spend time just making games for 360 instead of all this extra stuff. you know, like sony is doing. It looks like the last 4 years sony devs have been hard at work and microsoft has just been sitting back thinking their lead will just last them.

And this new 360 wont be comming out next year either,they dont even know when theyll release it,and i said this in another thread,I wouldnt be surprised if the ps3 out lasts even the next 360.In this case the cicle will repeat,360 release another console,ps4 comes a year later and once again is more powerful.

Just like the HD DVD add on, this Blu Ray add on can fail and still won't affect the Xbox 360.

The moment that Sony said no if MS wanted to issue a Bluray add-on, that would be the EXACT same moment that MS would say "no more Windows for your Vaio laptops"

blu ray for games is inevitable, but as for movies........ I went to best buy with the sole purpose to buy big trouble in little china in Bluray. Then I realized it'd be stupid to pay 25 dollars for a movie that's only 9 dollars in dvd. Another factor is streaaming. I can see any movie I want on my computer through hulu, netflix, itunes, etc. The digital age is working pretty fast, ten years ago I had a Sony walkman cassette player, now I can watch movies on my phone. Ten years from now, blu ray will be obolete for film.

Um, What does it matter that there wont be any games printed on Blu-Ray? Are you one of those guy that thinks Blu-Ray=Better graphics? On topic. I think this is a response from Microsoft after hearing those reports that 66% buys the PS3 for Blu-Ray alone. Personally, I don't even use my Blu-Ray player (for movies) at all in my PS3. The last Blu-Ray movie I watched was Terminator 2 back in yearly 2008. This and the Wifi are the most under used features on my PS3.

I don't think there would be any benefit to releasing an BD add-on this far into the gen. MS should just release a new system in 2011 that uses a Blu-Ray. New users wouldn't bother with it because the PS3 has it for the same price, and stand-alones are like $130 now.

If they sold it for $100, then I could see some 360 userspicking it up. Otherwise, bad idea.

finalstar2007

BluRay was created by Philips, Matsush_it_a (take out underscore, word was censored) and Sony. Some say 200 more companies were involved. One fact is, Sony only owns one small fraction of BluRay. They share it with said 200+ companies. When you look at it, Sony doesn't have much say.

HD-DVD movies were every bit as good as BD movies concerning quality. Also, DLHD-DVDs were 30GB. Not that it matters.

False. Sony and Pioneer invented blu-ray. Phillips did nothing. Sony and Pioneer have the biggest say in the blu-ray disk association because they have the biggest shares.

Well, I don't think people that have a 360 want a Blu-Ray player, at this point. Plus, I hate to say it, but I estamate that there is a overwhelming number of 360 owners that are under 20. I doubt HD movie watching really apples to them. Not to mention, With the Zund HD app you'll be able to install soon, it would compete against itself.
