Sure it should have it. Why not? I dont think it should ever come with the system tho that way its always affordable to people that are low on money. But an add on would be good.

But still microsoft hate Sonys PS3 because it have BlueRy... So if xbox360 have BlueRy there will be nothing to compare with..

So the best thing is make a way there is better or something else..

Yes, it would just make the 360 THAT much better than the PS3. I know that im sounding like a microsoft fanboy..... but if the 360 had blu-ray I think that "Blue-ray disc making company" would sell alot more movies. And they look SWEET on an 1080 HDTV.

Maybe for there next gen system. But for now no. Whats the point. Every xbox owner would have to get the new xbox 360 blue-ray to play newer games. When we could wait for the next gen and play more graphical games on a more high tec console. If you want blue-ray go for the ps3. Get mgs4 while your at it.

I don't think it needs Blu Ray at the current gen as the xbox 360 is really successful itself as of its head start in the current gen. Considering the games it has like gears of war, halo etc the xbox 360 has took off and given the console the extra edge in front of the ps3 and wii. These games have made the xbox successful as well as live and the other features the 360 has as well as the millions its sold it doesn't need Blu ray.

without blu-ray, not blue-ray everyone, MGS4 simply would not have been possible. Games are getting more high tech, and that means they take up more space. The next console ms releases will definitely have blu-ray. Imagine what Gears of War could be with blu-ray. A huge campaign 20+ hours, with hundreds of locust on screen at a time. It'd be so amazing I what Cliffy B could do with it. I guarantee you that the next xbox has blu-ray built in, but i see no point in this console having it, it's too late in the generation for it. If anything, make an add-on just to allow movies to be played, but i doubt many people would pay 200 bucks for it. And Smirnov, you point out a great thing. The 360 is doing so well with it's one year head start. Why did the ps2 do so good, it was a little cheaper and came out a long time before the xbox and gamecube. It wasn't powerful but could produce near xbox quality graphics. MS and Sony basically switched strategy's for this console generation, and I'm inclined to say that MS is going to stay ahead for the next-gen and release early, probably 2010. So expect an MS blu-ray console in 2010, 2011 at the latest.

Blu Ray is good, but the price of the system would have to go up and demand would fall. I dont think its such a great idea, $299 system is an amazing price for such a good system and they should keep it that way

Copying sir that is called business if your competitor has something and it works take the idea and build upon it. PS3 copied Trophies,hard drive and the in game media bar from MS, they each got the rumble idea from Nintendo I believe Dreamcast was the first console to bring on-line to the masses. I'm not trying to get on you just informing you it happens all the time if it didn't we wouldn't have half the inventions we do:D

If I am correct MS will have a blu-ray player in there next 360 which is the platinum edition it has a 250gb hard drive and has a bluish tint to it, so it will go elite,gold,platinum. However as it will play blu-ray movies the games on blu-ray will not be until much later if it doesnt happen this gen I expect to see a add-on blu-ray player.

The next Xbox is codenamed Omega it will have blu-ray, full backwards compatibility they are continuing with Achievements you will be able to recover you gamer-tag plus it should come with a data cable too, there is more but I cant think of them at the moment.

please go to my blogand read one of my posts. I made a topic a while ago about blue-ray and showed how the advantages are abitrary. so much so that you could say it hardly has any effect. MGS4 could've been made on dvd if they compressed it. I mean for all that 50gb of data it still looks bland compared to some of the PC games. whats more it doesn't even run on 1080p!! graphics and physics is primarily about cpu and gpu. storage is not the biggest issue. and it certainly isn't an issue for the xbox360. thats why they should only make the blue-ray drive as an option. so people can watch movies etc. and for movies theres a definate advantage because a movie has to store each frame at 1920x1080!!

I have to inform you MGS4 does play in 1080p its the only game if not 1 of the only games that does on PS3, also there is noway MGS4 would fit on one DVD9 disc its not possible even compressed it would still be 3-4 disc long and 3 is pushing it I would say 4-5 look at Blue Dragon 5 disc, Lost Odyssey 4 disc blu-ray would eliminate all those extra disc.

you don't think blu-ray looks better. they can leave stuff uncompressed, which means this, it looks/sounds better than compressed files. this is common knowledge with storage media. you are clearly making an excuse for yourself not to upgrade to it. if you want to see the difference, go buy a movie on dvd and watch it, then buy the dvd on blu-ray and watch it. i guarantee you that you see a major difference. it will also sound a lot better. are these life-saving changes, of course not, but they enhance the cinematic and gaming experience a ton.

well for the most part, there are more better looking 360 games out than ps3 games, and thats probably just because a lot of the ps3 developers are lazy i think. i mean the ps3 statistically should be able to out perform the 360 atleast 2x but so far with maybe an exception or two the 360 is constantly the better looking one. so i guess BlU ray would really boost the xbox but its too soon. probably better to wait till the next console after all it hasn't even been 3 years since the 360's been released.

anyone who actualy thinks they will add blu-ray to the 360 for playing games is just dumb. they will not alienate all of their current customers

yes its a good idea for movies and anyone who doesnt think there is a difference needs their eyes checked

it should definetly be in the next one and that is the supposed rumor

if they were to add blue ray and i doubt it id but it if it was an addon less than 200 then itd be worth it cause then i wont need a ps3 cause for those who already got 360 and no ps3 instead of dishing out 400 for a blue ray or ps3 you could pay half and bget it on the 360 you already own
