I've just finished reading this
"There's no way Microsoft will install a Blu-ray drive into the Xbox 720, and to be quite honest, I don't think there's any reason for it to do so.(lol wut?) The reasons are simple. First, Microsoft doesn't want to pay a competitor--Sony, the key backer behind the Blu-ray Disc Association--to use its format"(this makes sense)
"The future of gaming has nothing to do with Blu-ray. And although we don't know what Microsoft will include in the Xbox 720, I'm willing to bet it'll feature DVD and a strong online component where buying games through Xbox Live is made simpler.
It's the smart move."
So m$ won't put blu-ray on the xbox 3, it will still go with dvd(most likely).
Imo this is crazy, i think m$ is trying to hold back the "evolution" of formats.As we all see blu-ray is very successful, laptop manufacturers like Asus, Acer, Sony(d'oh) all have many models with blu-ray. I don't think m$ will take the risk to make another new format since they saw what happened to HD-DVD.It's just silly, what would have happend if we would still use only CDs? we would have games on...like 10 CDs.After 2 years blu-ray will be cheaper and affordable....
Your thoughts?

They don't want to support any formats, there plan is to make it look like its "not needed" so they can soley introduce Digital distribution. BTW, aren't their like DVD with bigger capacity's now?
