RUMOR: 360 BR SKU announced Monday - Jun 09, 2008 05:25
3 millionth time' s the charm, right?


I’m told MS will upstage Apple with a Monday 9am PDT announcement (1 hour before WWDC) via press release that the Xbox 360 will get Blu-Ray before Christmas. Price was “under the current Elite," but i could get any more details.

I might not get them with blue ray. I already own a PS3 so I don' t need another blue ray player. I haven' t watch any movies on my PS3 so I don' t care much about blue ray. so yeah I also heard another rumor some time ago about microsoft releasing a 60g 360.

BR isn' t sony hardware. BR was developed by the Blu-ray Disk Association, which included Sony, Samsung, LG, Pioneer, Phillips, and a few other companies.

Thanks for the heads-up, but this isn' t even a rumor. If it were from a reliable tipster with a known history of providing accurate information, it would be worth a note, but as of right now they' re pissing in the breeze.

By the by, I' ve been thinking about this whole Blu-Ray 360 mess. Microsoft has been on a crusade against Java since the late nineties. Wouldn' t that affect them using the Java-based Blu-Ray (as opposed to HDDVD' s HDi environment) as a media platform?

Well, according to this source, they' re supposedly doing it to interrupt apple' s conference, which doesn' t make much since either.

Apples are an excellent source of pectin, a soluble fiber that can lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels.

Our plan continues to focus on high-definition experiences. Xbox 360 has a great ability to deliver those through the Xbox Live (online download) service. It' s a great way to get the high-definition concept because it' s right there. There' s no additional media. There is nothing you need to purchase.


If you look at the Blu-ray player market, you haven' t seen the acceleration everybody expected (since the demise of HD DVD). It' s not as much about whether all the content is in a Blu-ray format or a HD DVD format. You have to look at how fundamentally compelling the difference is between a progressive scan DVD player and the picture that it can produce and what you get on a high-definition player. The reality is there is some difference, but most people look at it and say, " I am not going to pay extra for that."


There is nothing to even talk about [Blu-ray Xbox 360 plans] right now with regard to the next generation. That is so far out that there isn' t anything to talk about.
