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. 

I don't think he head internet in mind when he said multimedia.

It's music player is actually fine, be it in the dashboard or of course Media Centre.  It can view videos and photos as well as it's competition.

It doesn't have Bluray, hooray you made a valid point at last (although it's downloadable content is far superior)....Then ruin it by not getting the fact that the 360 optical output is part of the AV socket and hence you have optical output through there, unless you have a slim in which case it's even onboard!

 

Had you really wanted to state your case you'd have been better off just attacking the Bluray aspect along with the 7.1 HD audio capabilities of the PS3, instead you just sound whiny and desperate.
