Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft: 2010 Best Year For 360, No Need For Blu-Ray

Pristine20 on 24 January 2010

Funny that they mentioned all that other stuff and failed to include natal. Have they lost faith in it?

Do this mental exercise: imagine that the 360 DID have blu-ray, since launch, and you've been enjoying watching your favorite movies in 1080p all this time, AND play your great games also. How cool would that be? Ask a PS3 owner....As for Reach being pronounced GOY already, have you played it? Has anyone played it, or reviewed it, or seen it? And have you seen/played/reviewed all the other games launching this year? Your just confident because...you just want it to be, period.


The 360 launch would have been delayed like the PS3's, we'd have less games, would have had to pay more, and except for a couple of games it wouldn't have made a difference.  Does that sound like it's worth it to you?

2010 is an amazing year in gaming for the 360.

This generation....they don't need blu-ray, but they may want it next gen. We shall see.

what is microsoft thinking. Everyone needs bluray to experience Avatar at home ;)...

But seriously. I bet the one thing that sony will have that microsoft won't have this coming holiday season is 3D bluray and there may be some games coming out that will capitalize on that. Sony has already said every ps3 will be 3d compatible.

Bluray can also fit more information on it which means they are cheaper to make. 1 bluray is cheaper than two dvds (mass effect 2 :P)



Currently Playing: God of War Collection

2010 Anticipations PS3: MAG, God of War 3, Heavy Rain, Last Guardian

2010 Anticipations 360: Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2, alan wake, halo reach, fable III, fallout: new vegas

lol @ bluray not being necessary for games.... Lol, it may not be at this moment, but, Sony thought ahead, and gave people room... even though they're not yet taking advantage of all the memory. Multi-plats probably are all somewhere around 15 GB, and MGS4 is the only game I know of to even go that length...

It's always funny seeing people knock on something better (even if it's not yet needed) because they don't use it... So, they try to cover it up by saying it's not necessary... I wanna see a game that pushes the 67GB discs.... Guess I'll be waiting for Uncharted 3.

I suppose if a game gets too big for DVD, they can always make it download only..

All of those games are M rated aren't they?

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Its obviously not a necessity, but c'mon, its god damn 2010. Even if you get all happy down your pants about switching discs, anyone would rather want it on one disc if they had the choice between the two. Same game on one disc insted of two/three/four.

But i dont think that's what MS is refering to with that statement. Its more like they dont feel that it would gain them anything atm.

And yes, 2010 looks good for gamers.
