They can go for a heavily modified Blu Ray specification. Theres no reason why the next Xbox has to be able to play Blu Ray movies and it would save them the $10 per player license fee as well along with many of the patent costs for duplication. Im sure one of the major patent holders would be willing to spin off a side specification for the Xbox next as well. Personally I hope for them that they do this as it may allow them a better data density so they can release discs with just one layer which read faster at the same rotational velocity.

well... don't you think MS and the customer would like to pay $10 / console (I doubt it is that much actually) to watch BluRay movies? $10 is not that much. The next Xbox will have an insane CPU / GPU lots of ram, at least a 250GB HDD etc etc. $10 won't make the difference for MS and they would offer a lot more value for those $10.

I am not a BluRay-friend at all. Not becuase I am a stupid Xbox fanboy, but because I am a disc hater. The time of a disc should be over IMO. It is noisy, it generates heat, it can scratch etc etc. Flash is a better alternative IMO.

Sure MS will insert something to let their customers watch movies, so I voted for BluRay, but for a gamer, I would like to see them use Flash memory. You can get a 32GB USB stick for 40€. So in 3 years you might find this for
