BD add-on for Xbox 360 rumors

Thursday, Oct. 9 2008 | Author: Mel

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Rumors are circulating again that a Blu-ray addon for the Xbox 360 will soon be made available. This rumor has been circulating for the last few months especially after HD-DVD’s defeat in the format wars, the losing format being backed by Microsoft. Sony has already made a statement that a BD in Xbox 360 is something that they will welcome. The rumors have gained traction because of reports that Toshiba-Samsung finishing the development of a BD add-on for the Xbox 360.

But it looks like this is just another unfounded rumor, especially in light of the fact that online distribution is the direction that the Xbox 360 wants to take. Until I see an actual BD add-on on display I’ll most likely believe these future add-ons as just hokum.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they did bring out an BD add-on at some point. That’s the bonus with having a modular system like the 360.

UnGreat – Xbox 360 isn’t really ‘modular’ though is it? A failed HD-DVD drive? A hard drive that it should come packaged with in the first place? Not sure if any of that really makes the modular qualification ring true. It is great marketing speak though…
