Why not? I think they are underestimating the amount of people using the 360 as a media device vs as a pure gaming console. Hell, I haven't played a xbox 360 game in almost a year probably, and I still use it every day.

I'm starting to believe them. I really don't see much point in them releasing another add on for the 360. They already lost once with HD-DVD. If all the Blue Ray add on would do is play movies, what's the point? Heck, I don't know that Blue Ray is, truly, going to catch on anyway. Personally, I'm pretty happy with DVD, and have a decent sized collection that I'm not interested in replacing. I know I'm not alone in this line of thinking. I commend Microsoft for staying out of this one. They’ve said this enough times. I’m starting to believe them.
