Microsoft Xbox 360 is now not getting Blu-ray.
It would now seem that the earlier reports that Microsoft is in talks with Sony about integrating the new Blu-ray technology into their Xbox 360 is not going to happen.
Reuters.com has recently reported that Aaron Greenberg, the group product manager for Xbox, has commented that Microsoft is not talking with Sony about adding Blu-ray to their 360 console. Instead they seem to want to continue investing in the Xbox Live online service which enables users to rent hundreds of movies, including ones in high definition.
Of course the supply shortage is also hurting them now as they have been outsold by the Playstation 3 for the second month in a row. Microsoft needs to start make up it’s mind what it’s going to do and begin placing some new consoles into the hands of the consumer.
Myself, being a PS3 man, would like to see another Xbox with Blu-ray technology. But, the Live service isn’t bad either. An optional Blu-ray player would give people another option though in their movie watching experience. What say you?
Blu-ray or no?
