Would you prefer if the next X-Box use Bluray?

DD only would be stupid right now. You can't suddenly start offering DD as the only option all of a sudden, it's taken years for DD to generally be considered the standard for PC, and even then games are still released and bought through retail; although that's declining rapidly

And it will have to use something other than DVD9. Might be Blu-Ray, or knowing MS, they will use their own format (maybe bring HD-DVD again?)

Idc TBH, not like BluRay helps anything but overall disc space and Im not really bothered by multiple discs.

Possibly, but RROD is in the way.sethman410

Right because the next Xbox will be the exact same as the 360 :roll:

If you have noticed, consoles get a complete make over every generation, so RROD will not be present next gen. Especially considering that it's already been fixed.

When games like Dead Space 2 and RAGE require multiple I'd say the next one needs it. DD is also great, but only if they can utilize cloud storage and 500gb storage is standard.

well if they use dvd's again they'd be idiots. :P

and DD only would alienate MOST of the console gaming crowd, so that'd also be a terrible idea.

they'll either use blu - ray, or make their own disc format, or perhaps use HD DVD.

MS helped make the HD-DVD format, that's why they supported it instead of Blu-Ray.

Yes, kus Sony will go with something better lol.

yeah. In fact, If I had to make a guess I'd say they will use HD - DVD. I know they won't have an HD format for movies that way, but microsoft seems to be pushing netflix and movie streaming anyways.

My mistake, i only go to Steam if I look for PC games. I'll fix my post. But my point still stands, DD only would be a stupid mistake.

the whole RROD thing is moot now with this psn thing happening lol. what would u rather have....to get ur console replaced or fixed for free or get ur identity stolen AND have ur online gone for a week plus lol?

needed? no. incredibly beneficial? yes. And I'm talking about this gen.

next gen, blu - ray, or some other HD format with similar storage space will be needed.

incredibly beneficial? wat ps3 games has bluray incredibly benefited? it doesnt even have the "console graphics king" anymore. the devs have made some great games for the ps3....bluray didnt do anything really for them though. maybe crisper sound....but thats it really. if i'm wrong please tell me why.... :?

Yeah I would like to have a Blu-Ray based game system that will NOT jeopardize my personal information.

[QUOTE="soulitane"][QUOTE="sethman410"] Meh, the failure rate is still high and possibly changed the codes to hide the RROD. First xbox had problems too.sethman410

[QUOTE="sethman410"]

[QUOTE="soulitane"] Do you have proof that it's still high?soulitane

[QUOTE="soulitane"][QUOTE="sethman410"] NO. But it is, lol. I'm sure it's a higher failure rate than the ps3 (prolly not by much). If you know how 360 is designed, you will agree sir.

sethman410

[QUOTE="sethman410"][QUOTE="soulitane"] So pretty much just take your word for it?soulitane

I already have a PS3 to play BluRay movies. Whether Microsoft decides to use the BluRay format or pursue whatever alternate way of increasing the space for games to use, I'll be fine with it if it doesn't end up too bad.

[QUOTE="soulitane"]

[QUOTE="sethman410"] Then, you don't know how the 360 is designed? It overheats easily and lasts on average 5 hours before it does.sethman410

Will probably not even get next RROD-box so dont care

[QUOTE="sethman410"][QUOTE="soulitane"] So what you're saying there is if I play my 360 for more than 5 hours it will overheat?

soulitane

I wouldnt mind that.

Microsoft has no reason not to have a BR-Drive.

Back in 2005, things were different, Blu-Ray was locked in a format war, HD-DVD was gaining in sales and the drive would ramp up the cost of the system by $99. That's why Microsoft voted against it, they knew if the Blu-Ray went down, so would SONY. Now that Blu-Ray is the standard Hi-Def format, they gain nothing by not including it.

god yes its the best way to watch high def movies and holds 50gbs witch dvd and dd cant come close to.

Blu Ray is cheap now, they would be crazy not to use it.

Nope, blueray doesn't add much. A large hd with installs would be better. Micrsoft will not use it either as they would have to pay sony

Well, first of all. Not going to happen because they already made 500 gb discs. yup, you heard it, 500 gbs. It will be cost effective, I think it will be cheaper for MS to buy it off this instead of blu-rays.sethman410

Thats great but your going to need a fast read time for a 500 gb disc, and those are going to cost alot. Plus at this current time, games like crysis are only 7 gb. Longer games in the 10gb range thats for pc. I'm not sure why not just use an hd

Nope, blueray doesn't add much. A large hd with installs would be better. Micrsoft will not use it either as they would have to pay sony

That's not how physical storage formats works. No one collects royalties for it. You think Sony gets a cut from every single CD and DVD?

Typically a board is established, which any company can join (including Microsoft) and they agree to whatever standards and upgrades put forth.

I don't know where you get that info from but Microsoft would have to pay a manufacturer for a Disc drive, Mostly likely Panasonic. or Toshiba, so unless that manufacturer is already developing those drives for cheap, they would be insanely more expensive than the Blu-ray drives they are already pumping in their factories.

I think you're confusing it with licensing fees which happen at the manufacturer level. Microsoft doesn't develop their own DVD/drives nor will they make BR drives. They have to pay about $20 per each DVD drive and "cents" for each DVD. I'm assuming for BR is will more than double that.

I could see them avoiding it, promoting streaming for movies, then going with solid state sticks for games to make load times almost instant or faster then something limited by rotation and location

Blue ray would be a nice addition to the next xbox console, but as long as I can play games and music I don't really care.

big hard drives will cost more money and installs are lame
