Xbox 360 to go Blu in May

What were the odds?

WE THOUGHT GAME DEVELOPERS might be the first to out this kind of info but noooo.

It seems cunning hacks from Aussie site Smarthouse have obtained a confession from a Microsoft insider claiming that the Vole may hatch a Blu-ray spawn for its gaming console, as early as May 2008.

According to Smarthouse, apart from the obvious dead-end that HD-DVD will become in no time at all, several Volish business partners have already informed the console-dabbling software firm of their intention to opt for the Sony format, forcing the Vole’s paw in the matter.

In all fairness, La Vole’s, “we’re committed to the HD-DVD camp” argument didn’t fly (or is this 20/20 hindsight?) – the fact that Xbox 360 didn’t ship with a HD-DVD unit was a dead giveaway.

Let’s see if Tosh buys a Blu-ray licence, now... µ

Bla ha haaaaaaaa

Finally a winner and I am glad it's Blue Ray. Maybe because I own a PS3, no ring of death for me and Oblivion looks better on my rig too.
MS can kiss my arse.

The Blu(e) will contrast nicely...

...with the Red Ring of Death.

Toshiba BluRay and Sony VHS

Is Toshiba getting a BR license?

I remember those first Sony VHS machines after the much longer fight that led to Beta's defeat.

360

What a cheap piece of garbage that thing is. What kind of great machine has a 33% crap Rating. Not to mention all you xbox lovers now have to shell out more dollars for a blue ray player cause no one will be selling hd dvd. Whos laughing now. Not me, cause i own a ps3. Keep spending spending your hard earned money for crap. Can't wait to see what thier next exspensive yet comes with nothing console is going to be.
