Microsoft is definitely upping its support for the Blu-ray format following the unfortunate HD DVD affair. Steve Ballmer even says as much. Now you're probably thinking, much like the rest of the planet, that the next logical step is to make a Blu-ray add on player for the 360. Y'know, something to replace the obsolete HD DVD one.

Not so. Xbox group product manager Aaron Greenberg has spelled out loud and clear that there is no such plan in progress. "Xbox is not currently in talks with Sony or the Blu-ray Association to integrate Blu-ray into the Xbox experience," Greenberg told Reuters.

Well that's it settled then. Kindly shut up about the whole thing. There'll be no Blu-ray add ons, no Blu-ray attachments, no Blu-ray accessories and certainly no integrated Blu-ray playing Elite.

Assuming this is true this time, that must mean that all of Xbox's HD movie hopes are pinned on the Video Marketplace downloads. In that case, wouldn't this be a swell time to lop some of the price off those ridiculously expensive hard drives?
