A bluray 360....but not from Microsoft

http://gizmodo.com/5019594/rumor-microsoft-to-allow-third+party-xbox-360-consoles

At E3, MS may announce 360 being liscenced to 3rd party manufacturers. Not only would this crank out more 360's and penetrate the market better, but this also means the 3rd parties can do what they want with them, including making a bluray variant.

Would you buy a SAMSUNG or TOSHIBA bluray player with XBox 360 capabilities?

what if sony made one? wouldn't that be trippy. jack_russel

lol. that would be funny. But i doubt they would want to help fuel 360 sales.

Lol at the picture. They RROD'd it.Riverwolf007

I might get it when the price drops down.

why oh why does anyone give a s@#t about blu ray. For christ sake it's not need unless your playing a game like LO or MGS4 and if you haven't notice those are the only two game with tons of data that I or anyone knows. 360ru13r

Sometimes strange as it may seem to you people like watching something called movies and a small niche like to watch porn. All the better at 1080p.

That's priceless.

:lol: Nice touch.

That's fine and dandy but even the 360 uses the DVD player function and the movie market place as a selling point.

Why should Blu Ray be any different?

good point thus I succeed and only to say then why not have added the HD DVD drive with the 360.

I would say :

SOUNDS LIKE A PS3.

Yea, Panasonic did make that DVD-playing Gamecube last gen

:lol: Nice touch.

carljohnson3456

That looks amazing. Good one.

that would make sense... if it weren't for the fact that MS makes profit on every 360 they sell.
I don't get why they'd let others distribute it. It's like making a good restaurant, and then letting other bussinesses have it that take away from your restuaurant completely but you get a tip from them.
SmugDarkWinner

maybe they are after the added software sales. besides, the MS skus will always sell more then the 3rd party varients.

How would that crank out more 360s when the Ps3 has an internal BD player and is $400 bucks?

You will NEVER get to watch P0rn on Blue Ray..hywel69

yes, but there are not as many.

I saw one the other day while looking for a movie. I almost bought it just to try it out and check how it looks in 1080p:P but I just bought a regular movie instead

I don't watch porn at all, but I'd be hesitant on buying some BD porno. I don't want to see the scars from a cesarean....

You will NEVER get to watch P0rn on Blue Ray. Sony refused to allow it, you need DRM key from Sony to make a disc. One reason why I was rooting for HD DVD. Still there's also downloads. Lack of porn is one thing which will hold Blue Ray back as compared to the high uptake of DVD.hywel69

I seriously hope you are joking, the porn industry will never save anything (bar a lonely man with nothing else to do) and you say that it will hold Blu-Ray back?

The only thing that is holding the Blu-ray market back at the moment is the slow releasing of older films, not remastering older films before blu-ray conversion, and the relatively high price of the Discs

you make a crappy point about the porn industry

and that's exactly the reason why Sony allows porn to be released on BluRay. yes they refused it at first, but that's old news. They know that it will boost their sales. The one thing what keeps BR back is the price compared to DVD

Lol at the picture. They RROD'd it.Riverwolf007

:lol:

how much would this add-on cost?

You can buy a blu-ray writer for £150 pounds........ you can put what ever you like onto blu-ray......

thats actually a brilliant strategy by MS...

I think this is probably the weirdest thing I have heard all day, Porn does not decide Format wars!

Porn is one of the biggest factors.
