Lord Helmet Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 April fools dude. MS came out over a week ago and said that BD would not be supported on the 360 any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari5200 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 who would bite? There's how many post already on the subject stating that microsoft would not do BR and it's the same people that visit these posts pretty much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice the "not a prank" in the text. http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,144022-c...es/article.html Yeah, there are several other sites claiming the same. As for Microsoft denying it... anyone remember a company called Osborne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendon Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 This couldn't be the same Microsoft Corp. that denied the the existence of the Elite up to its release day, could it? Mendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Well, maybe its no joke. I'd buy one if they made it an ad-on. If they just start shipping consoles with the drive included internally, I'll be disappointed. I'd rather not have to buy a whole new console just for this.

Atari5200 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 it would not make sense to do that. It just wouldn't, they've sold how many consoles now? It's over 10 million right? how many of those 10 million people are going to buy a new console so the games can be put on Blu-ray disc, I know I wouldn't, the consoles sales now are going to slow down. They would have to make 2 versions of the games, or just not use blu ray disc for the games, and then it seems like a waste because it would have been cheaper to do an add on. As an add-on thought, yeah, i'd probably buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakpack Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 This couldn't be the same Microsoft Corp. that denied the the existence of the Elite up to its release day, could it? Mendon You mean they are gonna deny BluRay's existence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendon You mean they are gonna deny BluRay's existence? No...LOL. It's just you can't trust MS (or a lot of corporations) to honestly verify or deny rumors about forthcoming products. MS constantly denied the existence of the Elite right up to its release. Mendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 If thy put a BRD into the 360 I'd buy one that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtticGamer Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 It would be sweet, and sweeter if it was a HD-DVD/Blu-Ray hybrid drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) I still hold to the theory that Sony won't allow for a 360 BR drive due to the fact that there's twice as many X-boxes as PS3's already, and what few sales they got are more for the Blue Ray drive than for the PS3 system. I guarantee, if BR comes out on the 360, especially at the same $180 price point of the HDDVD drive, I'd likely bite (if I found anything in HD I absolutely had to have...taht is), and at that point, so much for me ever being interested in the PS3, as it's just an overly expensive console at that point.
