Wonder if M$ will go for a proprietary high-capacity disk? In terms of costs, highly doubt it, but if it prevents piracy by a good percentage, I wouldn't be surprised on that option.

 

MS has proven they like proprietary, they use a proprietary wireless controller instead of Bluetooth, they use a proprietary Hard drive and have a proprietary wirless adapter not much of a stretch to add disk to the list.  I think it depends on how much Blu Ray will cost to add to the machine.  It behoves both Sony, MS

Sony needs more drives out there and MS has this generation pushed out 21 million that would be a HUGE boost to blu ray

MS would not need to develop a proprietarty drive

 

I don't think that will happen.  If they go HD-DVD then they can't play BluRay movies.  BluRay isn't big right now, but how big will it be in at least two years when the possibility of the new XBox releases?  How big will it be by the end of that XBox's life cycle?
