After yesterdays announcement by Steve Ballmer of a possible Blu-Ray disc drive for Xbox 360, Microsoft’s Major Nelson has decided to let everyone know that it was just a simple mistake.
Major Nelson said:
"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."
So there you go, no Blu-Ray player for the 360. Besides, why would you want Blu-Ray when you can dust off your old HD DVD drive?.. What do you mean it was rubbish?
