yes it does need it and will have it MS will try to make the nextbox more of a home entertainment system then a gaming console (like there starting to do with the 360)

What? The 360 is more of a multimedia box than all the rest this Gen. No bluray has meant nothing. It has any HD film u can want. Unlimited music downloads. Taylor made console apps. Video social networking. Controller free multimedia. And more selection than Wii and ps3 when you include all media. So what are you referring to?

I understand you may want bluray. As that's what the thread is about. But realistically is it worth it of bluray is already dwindling?

its a valid point.

That is a ridiculous statement. 

The Xbox 360 doesn't have an internet browser, its apps are very limited, its music player is mediocre, its photo and video viewing facilities are again mediocre, it can't play HD films on the most popular media, heck it doesn't even have an Optical Cable Slot on it so you can't use it effectively for surround sound. 

The Xbox 360 is a games machine. You can tell that as soon as you boot it up and see the interface. 

Um Zune music player is amazing. For 1 cost I have unlimited music downloads across 360, pc and my WP7. Are you sure you know how much acess to media I have compared to my ps3 friend. And it costs me less a month for all of it than she spends and she gets much less. Also the ps3 browser is horrible. And you can't access half the web. My phone can do more with internet. No browser needed on console unless its a proper browser. The apps are console specific. As in they work with a controller. That's the point. MS understand an analog stick is useless for surfing the web.  And MS done away with optical on new design because of HDMI. If I were u id plug ur HDMI cable into your amp. Its much better quality than optical. Any decent amp has a HDMI tv out. So u get perfect sound and perfect picture. This is 2011 not 2006.
