I never knew they made money off of Blu Ray, it seems weird as there is no Blu Ray add on for the 360... wish there was tho..

afaik, MS owns the rights to the codec used in BR video or something

I thought Sonic Solutions now owned the rights to VC-1 (the MS codec used by HD-DVD and Blu-ray).

uummm...I will look into this a bit more. I could be wrong.



I've seen game ads that specifically say "Xbox 360 and PS3" on the 360. The Simpsons Game had uncanny images of the Wii, 360, and PS3, too. And on the PS3, you can download episodes of Gametrailers that preview 360 games.

In the past, I noticed that competing console's logos would be "blacked out". Now, I guess it's no big deal.



on the Playstation blog , jeff the Playstation guy, mentioned a game (i think lost planet) to be "Available on PS3 and Xbox 360 in (release date) ", so it not a big deal.



@kowenicki

Cheers. That clears that up.
