Major Nelson debunks the statements of Ballmer pretty quickly....YES!

I want EVERY free 360 development dollar spent on new software to make Natal a greater success.

There would be no extra money spent on this,  Toshiba made the HD-DVD add on, they would likely make this.  They were actually reumored to be doing so a while back

And is the add-on going to magically integrate into XBL? 


Probably using the same magic the HD-DVD add on used to work?   Look it was just a rumor,  thats all.

Do you have a HD-DVD player for your 360...because I do...so evidently, somebody did some work to get it integrated...yup...right there...HD-DVD...so that magic isn't free...

No, I dont buy things that have no future.   And of course someone did work to get it integrated, but I doubt we are talking an entire development team working months of reworking the entire Xbox 360 OS just to allow a Blu-ray add on. 

Actually, it would be firmware. And the 360 dev team wouldn't have to do anything aside from work with the manufacturer of the BR drive to make sure the firmware had the correct "handshake" with the 360.

I know,  I wasnt the one making it out to be a huge problem implementing it if it did happen.  Plus Microsoft has a good relationshio with Toshiba, which would probably be the company that would have made it like they did the HD-DVD add on.
