Blu-Ray on 360 would be nice but would be too expensive, I would rather get a ps3.

Wait, there is a chance that Sony will go Linux? DO IT SONY!!!!!! I will buy one first day. What a horrible crime is it for me to NOT waste 200+ dollars on a piece of garbage software.

Maybe you'd be happy, but Sony certainly wouldn't, with the lower laptop sales and all. Oh well, it was only a joke anyway.

If the add-on costs about $400, many 360 gamers interested in Blu-ray might be tempted to get a PS3 instead. With a similar price and coupled with the fact that it plays games, the PS3 would undoubtedly be more appealing to many. Pricing for the add-on will be key if it's to have any success. |
Why would it cost $400? You can get a standalone blu-ray player for less then that lol. I would put an add on around the same price as the HD DVD one. ~$129-149. Why? You can get a PC BD-ROM for around $140 which is all the add-on is. Pricing it any higher wouldn't make it a worthwhile purchase.

The launch price of the HD-DVD add-on was $199. There's no way MS is so stupid that they will release an add-on that costs more than majority of the 360s available. I'm expecting the Blu-ray add-on to launch at $150. It's a VERY simple device considering most of the work happens in the 360 itself.

MS didn't approach Sony... It's Sony who approached MS. "Toshiba has moved on. We've moved on, and we'll support Blu-ray in ways that make sense," he said. Blu Ray add on does not make sense on the 360. |
Because an add-on for a format that had a 50/50 chance of survival made perfect sense in 2006?
An add-on at this time would make perfect sense, simply to discourage 360-only owners from picking up a ps3 should they want a Blu-Ray player. After all, a gamer who also wants Blu-Ray is the prime demographic of the ps3.

Not including an HDDVD drive into the 360 to raise cost made perfect sense in 2006 (even though now looking back, an HD DVD drive into every 360 probably would of changed things).
Why would it matter if the few (only 2% of 360 users bothered to purchase the HDDVD addon) went out and purchased a PS3 to play movies? They would still purchase their 360 exclusives and multiplatforms depending on which versions is gimped less.
MS would be worried more about NEW customers comparing a gaming console + BluRay addon vs. the PS3.
