So…..can you ask your “friend” (if he actually exists anywhere outside your own bullshit creating head….) where this announcement was? What happened to it? This was all over the net and now NOTHING…… cheap way of getting more hits on your site? Or are you the victim of a now-laughing-his-socks-off-at-your-gullibility scammer?
Either way, 3 days later, no blu-ray, no announcement, no upstaging of Apple. Oh yes whats that smell… BULLSHIT.

Um its 9:15 PDT and no announcement from MS, so this looks like 100% BS. Just like Blu-ray in fact!

Why would MS put a key Sony technology, particularly one with Java in it, into the Xbox? Makes no sense.

alex you are a fanboy in denial. If you owned a 360 then you would know where the gaming is at. I have not turned on my gaystation 3 to play a game in like 6 months. Keep your idea that the gaystation is the greatest think in the world, it just proves that you are not a hardcore gamer and a fanboy.

the discussion is short term at best, the studios will drop any format for downloads once the financial side looks better

In the years, I’ve been paying attention, Microsoft almost always attempts to upstage Apple on event days. I haven’t yet seen them succeed.

So what you are saying is that Microsoft willfully released unfinished xbox 360s so that they can turn around and spend millions of dollars to give people 3 year warranties?…..which includes shipping both ways and cost of repair? If you got the original premium console…….you do not have to upgrade to enjoy games or what not…..and with or without a bluray you can still play games on the premium.

Mmm…. how is this news? It’s as obvious and predictable as the tide!

I don’t get it. How does their Blu-Ray announcement upstage WWDC? Would it be nice to have an Xbox with built in Blu-Ray, Yes. But for MS to think that it would upstage Apple’s announcements on Monday is laughable. It’s kinda sad.

I own an Xbox and like many, purchased the HD DVD drive. To have everything in one package would be nice. That being said, if it’s true that’s great, but by no means does it upstage anyone’s announcement.

This still does not make sense. Blu-ray requires a JAVA VM if you want the interactivity that exists on the disc. What are the odds that Microsoft is going to license the JAVA VM? Why whould they add a drive that does not let you use the extras on a disc?

Second what about the fact that blu-ray drives spins a lot slower than the internal DVD drive does on the 360? Unless there is some faster drive out there it will not be able to spin fast enough to run the games built for the system.

Why be surprised that Microcrap makes us spend money again and again to have working hardware? they willfully release unfinished products so that people spend (= lose) money to be able to use it … It would be time Americans open their eyes and throw Microcrap away!!!

I hope this is total BS. This would be sooooooooooo stupid. It’s not like they could suddenly start making blu-ray format games.

By: Jon

Jon — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 22:01:11 +0000

of course they’re going to deny it. If they didn’t deny it, they’d have to say goodbye to alot of potential 360 sales until this sku supposedly comes out.

I hope its true so they finally make an xbox that doesn’t sound like a freight train when a disk is spinning.

Clearly fake. MS officials in the E & D division have been saying till they’re blue in the face (no pun intended) that there are no current plans to offer a Blu-Ray drive; they’re pinning their hopes on digital downloads.

Actually, Nintendo is dominating the console market.

Still, I agree that Mr. Alexzander is the epitome of a fanboy. “Microdick”? Seriously?! That’s almost as bad as calling Microsoft “M$”.

LOL!!

Some people can’t accept change… in this case MS dominating the console market.
