i don't see the xbox having a blu ray player so soon.
for one reason: they have to pay sony for it. and sony is their competitor so no don't see that coming soon but maybe in later models when the blu ray becomes cheaper or microsoft learns how to make a variation of a blu ray player that still plays blu ray discs

if they add blu ray onto or into the xbox 360, the xbots cant talk about sony stealing ideas.

if 360 gets a price cut, ps3 will follow and then you will see ps3 sales explode.

A Blu-Ray drive added to the 360 makes absolutely no sense. Microsoft's goal is to get their SKUs down to a mass market price point (for them ~$199) and adding a Blu-Ray drive would make it even harder to get there. Since only ~3% of 360 owners bought a HD-DVD drive when it wasn't available on any other console it's doubtful that a Blu-Ray drive which is available on another console would create enough sales to justify it's cost.
