Microsoft talks support for Blu-ray

Xbox_360_-_ConsoleStraight_eps_jpgcopy.jpgWe could one day see Blu-Ray drives appearing on our 360s- Microsoft's Steve Ballmer was recently quoted in SeattlePi.com saying "I think the world moves on. Toshiba has moved on. We've moved on, and we'll support Blu-Ray in ways that make sense." It makes sense- Microsoft's got little to gain from snubbing Blu-Ray now that HD-DVD has officially gone the way of Betamax. Not being able to play high-def movies would be a setback for 360 once the format takes hold. To be honest, I've always been a bit indifferent about the whole Blu-Ray, HD-DVD thing.

You can still fit good games and fit them onto DVD. I've yet to see a PS3 title that really justifies the amount of space that Blu-ray provides. Having the option available will be appealing to some, but I'll just stick to playing games on it. Of course, there's always the video marketplace for HD movies. There's not a lot good on it yet, but then again there's precious little good stuff on Blu-ray either.
