Rock on 08- seriously you have to be the biggest fanboi idiot anywhere. where the hell do find crap like the link above. MS wont put a blu-ray player in anything cuz they aren't even selling that well and they have invested a lot of time into digital downloads, blu-ray is great for games but for movies its a different story. DVD's are more convenient then blu-rays because everyone had a DVD player and they aren't that different from blu-ray players. Plz as a favour to everyone disconnect your internet

Seriously you sound like the fanboi with a post like that. "Rock on 08- seriously you have to be the biggest fanboi idiot anywhere. where the hell do find crap like the link above" Wheres my ban button mods?

Its been up on multiple sites that they have been contacting manufacturers to make the drives for them. Asians cant keep secrets very well sometimes.

 

By the way, if you have one Blu ray drive a second one for the kids is also valuable as well. Now in one unit you can stream all your media and play everything in your collection.

As for selling or not selling that well? Your subjective opinion is way out of left field. PS3 is currently outselling the Xbox360 but the Xbox360 is outselling itself from a year earlier. As a viable platform it will last this whole generation.

 So your basing your argument on an asian sterotypes okay, well im sure your surprised that the ppl leaking this crap got to work safely and aren't in a hospital afer crashing their cars.

 

As for the selling aspect of it im talking about blu-ray players not ps3's out selling 360's. Hell i dont have nay proof of this next opinion but im sure DVD players are selling better then blu-ray's

 

What does MS have to gain from new console anyways.  They lose more money on their new 360 then on their old one?

I was joking lol but there do seem to be a lot of rumors coming from there. Nothing confirmed so obviously no crashed cars.

As for the blu ray comment... well as a format its more valuable the more players you have in your household. Still, it is early days yet, but consider this. If your family spends $250 on movie disks per year. Over 5 years the cost is $1250 and the cost of the player is $50 so total cost $1300. If you have Blu ray your total cost is $1650 and the difference is only $350. Now ok the price of the disks is high right now but im sure the market will price them accordingly. There are other advantages to the format like the ability to hold whole seasons on one or two disks. So the migration will happen but I think its the costs of the disks holding things back, not the price of the players.

Lastly - Microsoft has a lot to gain from a new console, so does Sony. Any changes they make to the current 360 will be because they think it will either make them money or secure more market share or even better! Both.
