Despite Steve Ballmer mentioning how a Blu-Ray accessory may be headed to the Xbox 360, Major Nelson is here to squash your dreams.
There you have it 360 owners, there is no Blu-Ray add-on coming for the Xbox 360. You may just have to wait until the Xbox Over 9000 (or what ever it might be called) is released to have your cake and eat it too.
During an interview yesterday, Steve Ballmer was asked about Blu-Ray and the Xbox 360. I wanted to clear something up. Steve was referring to Blu-Ray accessories for the PC. As we have said in the past, we have no plans to introduce a Blu-Ray drive for the Xbox 360. In fact, the future of home entertainment starts very soon when Xbox 360 becomes the first and only console to offer instant-on 1080p streaming HD movies. With a library of thousands of TV shows and movies to choose from, Xbox 360 owners can instantly watch the movies they want, when they want, in the highest form of high definition.
