http://www.blu-ray.com/faq/#bluray_developers

Scroll Down to the "Who developed Blu-ray" part and read the list of Board of Directors. Apple and Sony are on that list not mention Dell who is sided with Sony. I dont see Microsoft getting blu-ray unless they are ready to pay up big $$

Blu-Ray and HD DVD are both out of date.

Digital distribution via cable & sattelite TV is the future.

I think the sales numbers and unit number who own DVD's and DVD players don't agree with you. DVD is far from dead

That's going to change. Analog is going to be eliminated come 2009, freeing up lots of bandwidth. Not only that, but bandwidth savings will also be realized because of IPTV - the only channels that will stream to a TV will be what the user wants. If I want CNN, HBO and Showtime only, those will be the only channels delivered and streamed. That's a big function of IPTV, to tailor your TV experience and cut out all the noise you don't care about, like for instance....I never watch Lifetime, so why should it be streamed to me?

Guess what Blue-ray uses Microsoft and its VC-9 codec, Microsoft is apart of blue-ray lol.

So? Microsoft would just pay Sony. They have money.X_CAPCOM_X

Yes but that could have an adverse effect on their consoles sales, if Sony was making money off Blu Ray from MS, then they could easily throw the money they get into the production costs of the PS3 and drop the price by a good chunk which would in turn sell more PS3's.

WTF are you talking about?

Sony will welcome Microsoft with open arms. 

Microsoft would never add a blu-ray drive to the 360. Maybe next gen, if blu-ray were to become the standard in the next 4-5 years.StephenKing_1

Buffering DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD with a HDD would impede the ability of either to provide pure lossless audio, especially when combining it with synchronized 1080p video.ramey70

Most people are not going to care. They will care more about functionality and ease of use, and getting digital content through broadband will provide that. There is a lot of potential for it.

Imbiciles! Who needs these when you can wait for the after-death technology for the dead people. Would be nice chilling in hell with Dead-Ray ,Deadbox 900 + DeadKidiiiz 2.
