box 360 Blu-ray console shipping by September?by Thomas Ricker, posted May 2nd 2008 at 2:12AM



For all of Microsoft's denial, the Xbox 360 Blu-ray console rumors just will not die. In fact, they are getting more and more specific. The Chinese language Economic Daily News is reporting that Pegatron, an OEM subsidiary of ASUS, has won the order from Microsoft to assemble the Xbox 360 with Blu-ray Disc ROM drive -- shipments are expected to being in Q3 of this year. Now come on Microsoft, just come clean on the matter, we won't tell anyone.

I don't see why they wouldn't do it. I doubt that games will be put on BD, but it would steal some of PS3's thunder when it comes to watching HD movies. My guess is that it's success will be highly dependent on it's final price point in comparison to PS3.

I agree completely. It just seems like we've been hearing back and forth with this for quite some time with some very firm it's never going to happen.

If it does. Cool beans. Or well, might be cool beans depending on the price.

Ill get it. dry.gif I guess only time can tell whether it's true or not. But I would only get it if it is upgradeable and will take advantage of the hard drive, or the Blu ray will suck.

I do believe this will happen and it is a good move for microsoft, though i do not see it taking the thunder away from the ps3 because with the inclusion of a blu-ray drive, you can almost be assured a price increase on the systems.
