Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft to turn Blu Monday?

http://kotaku.com/5014349/rumor-microsoft-to-announce-blu+ray-xbox-on-monday

 

From Kotaku:

We have no confirmation or sourcing of our own on this, so, we don't vouch for its accuracy. But we will be watching the clock at 10 am Crecente time tomorrow, as CrunchGear is rumormongering that Microsoft will announce Blu-Ray Xboxes will be shipping by Christmas, at that time. Rumor has it they'll cost less than an Elite.

The announcement would apparently be timed to upstage Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference which kicks off an hour later in San Francisco. Here's the full rumor from CrunchGear's tipster:

I’m told MS will upstage Apple with a Monday 9am PDT announcement (1 hour before WWDC) via press release that the Xbox 360 will get Blu-Ray before Christmas. Price was “under the current Elite," but i could get any more details.

We'll be pursuing this tomorrow as our means of pursuit are limited today. Carry on.

Holy Crap.

Blu-Ray on Monday.

JRPG's on Tuesday.

This is going to be a big week for the Xbox 360.

Hope the PS3 has a better week than last week, high-def needs some time in the limelight.

I hope not. I already got one bluray player...



I would love that. I was thinking of getting a PS3 but now I will sell my current 360 and upgrade. But I doubt that it is true.



Wont have to wait long to find out Jagged.

Snake is coming to save us this week



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I would be really surprised. I would think a BluRay addon to be far more likely since MS cannot use BluRay for games.



damn, i blue myself too early and now it's all over my hands



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Didn´t MS say they weren´t interested in BD but only in downloadable content?
