They'd be foolish not to use Blu-Ray in the next Xbox, as even at the start of this generation, developers were complaining about the size limits of DVD. However, it's good that they aren't confusing the consumer even more by tossing it into the 360.

Not really... If they go with optical media, they'd probably be better off with HD-DVD or some other unpopular format which would make it harder to pirate (like Nintendo usually does).

Actually, assuming they are as cheap as we all expect them to be, a combo HD-DVD/Blu Ray drive would be best.  HD-DVD for games (to combat piracy) and Blu-Ray for movies. 

Of course the biggest neccessity will be a massive HDD to push their download scheme.
