[QUOTE="ramey70"][QUOTE="coolguy1111"]No... Not big enough, not owned by a big enough company. And why does every game have to come to the 360? :|coolguy1111
Because I don't want to play games on my computer. I'm rather lazy and want to spread out across a sofa with a controller in my hand.
Whats stopping you from getting a controller on your PC and using your TV as a monitor?
The Beast. Also known as my wife. She lets you hook your 360 up but not your pc? I also have the PS3 hooked up to it. She says i hog it too much as it is. She's drawing the line.
Really, there are so many reasons why this wouldn't work.
Huge cost, all old games need to be format swapped, MS wouldn't support HD-DVD anymore not to mention it would disrupt long term plans for the console.
No, MS just need to continue what they are doing at the moment, supplying great games. Adding a new drive would be pointless.

Why would they need to be format swapped? DVD-9 workes on a Bluray drive.
I'm actually really enjoying it. Been pleased with most newer Bluray releases. Though, I'm really excited about the Pirates of the Caribbean series in may.

Why would sony allow microsoft to have blue-ray if they knew it would bury their system? This is possibly the dumbest thread ever created.flabjab93
Sony wouldn't be able to restrict MS from using Bluray. If they did they would up themselves up to massive antitrust violations. The same would happen if Microsoft kept Windows Vista from recognizing Bluray drives or media.

Videogames don't improve our lives either. It's just entertainment. Isn't an entertaining life better than a life without entertainment? If you believe a fun life to be better, then why doesn't more entertainment bring us a better life. If you don't believe a fun life to be better I don't understand your logic. Exactly. By that same logic HD technology could improve someone's life as it brought them entertainment.
Microsoft has very little financial attachment to HD-DVD and has even said in the past that if Bluray "won" they would have no problems making it the format of choice for their next console. Hell, Microsoft's VC-1 codec is now used on many current Bluray releases. Outside of gaming Microsoft and Sony work together on many projects and such. So it's not like they are at each others throats. As far as licensing goes, Sony is fairly open with Bluray technology and probably couldn't restrict MS using the media for fear of antitrust violations. So it is feasible they could use and incorporate the technology.
So could you imagine a Zephyr with the 360's library, Live, a Bluray player with HDMI capable of also reading DVD-9 360 games, and a larger 100GB HDD for about $499? I would get rid of my PS3 for that (and by default my current Premium 360). And to be honest, I don't even think Sony would have much of a problem with it considering that would virtually spur sales and adoption of Bluray more than they thought posssible.
