Xbox 360 Blu-ray Shot Down Again By Microsoft

You didn’t think Lite-On was really manufacturing Blu-ray Disc drives for the Xbox 360, did you? It doesn’t seem that Microsoft put too much stock into it, supposedly being quoted flat out with “No. Lite-On is not manufacturing Blu-ray drives for Xbox...

DigiTimes added to the Xbox 360 rumors yesterday (April Fool’s Day), saying that they have a source who says “Lite-On IT is developing built-in Blu-ray Disc-(BD) ROM drives for the Microsoft Xbox 360 game console.” Today they are sticking by that with...

Microsoft: “Not currently in talks with Sony or the Blu-ray Association”

After all of my ramblings , and so many people saying that Microsoft already said they are supporting Blu-ray ( despite it being true at all ) Microsoft has finally made a statement about Blu-ray and the Xbox 360. Anyone care to guess how it goes? Aaron...

More Ramblings About Blu-ray & Xbox 360

At this point I’m either setting myself my for a huge fall or I’m exactly right, I’ll still let you be the judge of that but the more I think about Microsoft doing Blu-ray for the Xbox 360 (internal, external, new SKU, etc) the more it still doesn’t make...

Fact or Fiction: Microsoft and Blu-ray

Blu-ray on Xbox 360 Not Going to Happen

Some websites are reporting “rumors” of Microsoft getting ready to add Blu-ray support to the Xbox 360. I’m not going to link to the main website in question, because nothing on that site has ever been true (unless there is an Xbox 360 with HD DVD intergated...
