On XBL, where else?

Sorry. My point was that Blu-ray is still the best route for uncompressed video and audio. If this rumor is true, the enticement of Blu-Ray on the Xbox 360 would give it more "staying power." Blu-ray for games on the Xbox 360 would splinter the market. Blu-ray as a movie playback option only should not. You can still stay commited to digital downloads while still offering Blu-ray.
This would be great news for X360 owners as long as it's well priced. Blu-ray is the best way to enjoy movies IMO.
No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

The problem with that argument is you think most people care about that. Believe me, most people don't and if you told most people that, they would either stare at you blankly or nod their head only pretending to understand the buzz word.
Even if you showed most people a 1080p streamed movie from Zune and the Blu-Ray, they wouldn't see the difference. Hell, a lot of people don't even care about HD, how do you think those people feel about 1080p vs 1080p?
If I were to guess, I would guess that MS is wary about another expensive addon people won't buy (talking about the HD-DVD player, not something else :-p) that also competes with their DD approach. Adding a Blu-Ray doesn't really get them that far and it's not that important of a buzz word. Things like Zune, Netflix, and download are much better words for them. That approach also moves people to buy the expensive addon people will buy-- hard drives.

Then why bought everyone an HD tv?

Because it's cool or the wife's husband went out and bought it.
We can see the difference and care for a variety of reasons, but ask most people and they either can't see a difference or don't care. Also, it's pretty hard not to buy an HDTV nowadays.

The problem with that argument is that you think that I think that most people care about it. I never said it, I never implied it. When properly implemented, Blu-ray playback is awesome. Plain and simple. Those "few" Xbox 360 owner without a Blu-ray player who are interest will have that opportunity, that advantage. I don't care what Microsoft's approach is. Business, business trends, and business tactics change. If Microsft can offer Blu-ray via Xbox 360, more power to everyone. No excuses.

Edit: A thought just came to me. Those "most people" who "can't see a difference or don't care" are Xbox 360 users hence, no need for Blu-ray on the Xbox 360, right?

MS marketing genius at work again. buy any xbl gold enabled blu ray player valued at $400 or more and get a free xbox 720!!
