X360 blu-ray rumours resurface

Posted on Wednesday, 8 October 2008 by Speed, source: Xbitlabs
Citing market sources, Xbitlabs is reporting that Microsoft is planning to release an external Blu-ray disc player for its Xbox360.

Toshiba-Samsung Storage Technology Corp., a joint venture between Samsung Electronics and Toshiba Corp., has been contracted to manufacture external Blu-ray disc drives for Microsoft Xbox 360 game console. While the exact specifications of the product are unknown, it is rumoured that Microsoft aims at $100 - $150 price-point for the device in order to compete against Sony PlayStation 3 with Xbox 360 + external Blu-ray drive combination
When the drive would be released is yet unknown but speculations go in two directions: just before the holiday season to take on the PS3 directly, or just after the new year around the period of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) where Microsoft could be stealing the show with the drive's official unveiling.

None of the companies mentioned above have commented on the latest rumour so still take it with a grain of salt but with HD-DVD out of the picture (literally) and HD movies growing in popularity, Microsoft would be stupid not to go for Blu-ray just because it's got BD-Java interactive technology instead of its own HDi tech.
