Microsoft denies Blu-ray Xbox 360
March 14th, 2008 by Giles SmithMicrosoft’s Xbox division and Sony aren’t chatting about incorporating Blu-ray into the Microsoft console, despite a Sony executive stating that the two companies are discussing the HD technology.
Sony US’ President, Stan Glasgow, confirmed last week that talks between the two companies had taken place, though he didn’t say that the negotiations centred on the Xbox 360.
Yesterday, Microsoft’s group product manager for Xbox 360, Aaron Greenberg, went on record to say that the two were not discussing bringing Blu-ray to the Xbox 360.
If Microsoft aren’t planning to put Blu-ray into the 360 then where are they intending to go? Games are getting bigger and bigger and DVDs just don’t cut it any more.
If they aren’t going to Blu-ray, maybe Microsoft are thinking about putting all their games online, but noone would have have a hard drive big enough to store more than a handful of games…
Who knows, I’ll keep looking.
