Will nextbox use blueray?

[joeorc]

I am going to say No, nada, and still No to Blu-Ray, Microsoft will still use DVD!

the reason being I would say 70%  or even higher of the fan's that own the xbox360 do not care for or see the need for Blu-Ray. Why because DVD is still enough for the majority of 1st party Xbox360 game's being developed.

I just do not think that Microsoft see's Blu-Ray as a Need. The only reason Why Microsoft supported HD DVD in the first place over Blu-Ray was because of IHD, and to slow down the adoption of Blu-Ray.

by the Time of the Next Xbox what ever that will be stand alone Blu-Ray PC optical drive's will still be in the $30.00+ range so it would still be cheaper to go with DVD if Microsoft even decide's to go with an internal Drive at all.

If anything DVD 9 size for the majority of xbox720 or what ever will still be the main target for for Data size. for xbox developed game's for their data size.

because they don't need Blu-Ray because of compression techniques, and procedural synthesis and less FMV in their game's which many xbox360 game's FMV is less of a priority. In my opinion that's just the way I see it due to Microsoft's stance on Blu-Ray.
