wait the nextbox is confirmed blu ray? Cooll


Nope. That's one of the parts I am using common sense. MS will definitely continue to push for media features and bluray is the logical choice.


lol if Microsoft uses Blu Ray after trying to help kill it tag teaming with HDVD, they need to make Sony a sandwich before they can join the club. >:)-

except Sony doesn't own all the Blu-ray rights.  Anyways, it would be foolish for Sony to deny anything; especially in their current financial situation.


You're just trying to belittle Sony. I know Sony didnt make Blu Ray but they were one of the main members of the Blu Ray association. Microsoft all the way to 2011 has been talking down to Blu Ray sore  their efforts to kill it failed. If Microsoft wanted to send a message to the Blu Ray association and Sony they would've put HD-DVD in the 360 (instead of making it external and watching it die)and  rode out the sales of the Xbox 360 on HD-DVD drives until they achieved market level satisfaction so the non-gamers could've bought it without worrying about price. Sony won that format war and Microsoft will have to follow them just like they followed Sony into the gaming industry with the DVD player.

Microsoft last year was still talking down to Blu Ray saying that digital downloads are the future. Well of course they are, but everyones using them as well as as as secondary to the primary media format. This means the big three know the people are STILL not ready to switch over completely to digital downloads. On Live..yeah...you know about that so I wont go into that further. Anyway, Sony made them eat their words twice with Blu Ray, so again...they must make them a sandwich if they want to join.
