Blu-Ray to 360????

"Whatever format wins it is highly likely we will offer a solution," he said. "The only debate is if you want to watch Blu-ray movies and pay the extra money for that feature. We prefer to offer the consumer choice."

Thoughts.....

If they come out with a Blu-Ray external drive like the HD-DVD drive(which I currently own), I would purchase it.  There are many movies out for Blu-Ray I would like to have not available to HD at this time.

Isn't Blu ray made by sony?

AMEN! 1 reason im getting a PS3

And is sony going to let MS to use Blu-ray just like that?

They gonna have to pay license fee.

I am not interested in either HD or Blu-Ray until there is a standard.  Buying either to have only certain movies available is retarded.

 But it's good to see that MS isn't stubbornly supporting only HD-DVD, causing us to suffer in case Blu-Ray takes off.

The Blu-ray Disc format was developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association, a group of leading consumer electronics, personal computer and media manufacturers, with more than 180 companies from all over the world.

im not interested in either of them as well....and i dont own an hdtv so meh....im still buying dvds i love for cheap :)

It's going to happen, I'm reading the new Game Informer magazine and the new Elite Xbox-360 will not have a built in HD-DVD player (Microsoft said "HD-DVD format isn't proven"), that to me suggests MS is looking into Blu-Ray.BigBadBully

ummm...its MICROSOFT!!!!!

do you really think that a license fee is an issue? 

HD-DVD isn't Microsoft's problem. And Sony doesn't decide who gets Blu-Ray. The Blu-Ray Association does. Sony uses Windows XP for their computers. Both companies use eachother. And not everyone in Sony or MS hates eachother. Don't take Ken Kuturagi and Kaz Harai's BS as all of Sony when it comes to their gaming division.fatzombiepigeon

According to Gamasutra.com, Xbox UK head Neil Thompson told the BBC that Microsoft would consider supporting the Blu-ray format if it becomes significantly more popular than HD-DVD, which the company currently supports through a $199 Xbox 360 peripheral.

"Whatever format wins it is highly likely we will offer a solution," he said. "The only debate is if you want to watch Blu-ray movies and pay the extra money for that feature. We prefer to offer the consumer choice."

 If Sony owned it outright, why would there be other Blu-Ray players out there. 

So please read the entire posting before making a dumb--- statement.

if they do that 360 will probably cost more than the ps3 or as much xtremeg4m3r

The Matrix was at one time (probably still) the best selling DVD of all time.

Soon two Matrix box sets will be released by WB on the HD-DVD format only.  The reason behind this is simply Blu-Ray's inability to utilize WB's interactive features.

Will this win the format war for HD-DVD?  Certainly not...but this war is FAR from over.  Sony just wants people to think it is.

I saw that too.  It ranked right up there w/ the stand alones.  The HD DVD player for the 360 didnt stack up well against the stand alones
