FWIW, I think MS did it right by making the next-gen drive optional. A lot of people won't want to pay more for a drive they can't utilize. It sucks for people like me who actually would have loved to have an HD-DVD built in, but I understand the reasoning. Also, people like me would prefer a full-featured, standalone HD-DVD/Blu-Ray player anyway, so it's a moot point.



But you're right. I sure am hating playing PGR3 and Call of Duty 2 knowing that a better system will suck the joy out of me when it comes out in half a year. Good call.]]>Jan 11th 2006 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/

The 360 isnt a great video player, anyhow... it's too loud. I suspect with the power in the PS3, it will have some noise issues, too. Either that or it will be even later and more expensive than they've already said.]]>Jan 11th 2006 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/


Admittedly, we're all gonna hack any format that comes out, but if Microsoft is trying to ease the pain, we should be working with them to get Blu-Ray unlocked, or demand HD-DVD in the PS3.]]>Jan 11th 2006 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/


Same is true of Sony.. if BlueRay dies , you can be sure they'll be selling HD-DVD players or they'll suddenly "check their egos at the door" and allow a dual-format player like Samsung wanted to do. ]]>Jan 11th 2006 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/


Nobody cares, unless they're a subliterate downs-case like yourself. All "fanboys" are retarded. Get back to furiously masturbating over your PS3 "simulated" screenshots while the rest of us wait for the good next-gen games.



Back on the subject, this is certainly expected, and good for current 360 owners. Format wars are (and have always been) shit for the consumer.]]>Jan 11th 2006 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/Jan 11th 2006 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/


Well at CES it was confirmed that Blu-ray supports MANDATORY managed copy. So that can't be the reason.



Probably has to do with Blu-ray using Java. OR it could be that they don't want PS3 to have a major advantage over PS3. OR it could be that they actually want BOTH formats to fail so that the download service they're working on won't have deeply entrenched competition when it's eventually released.]]>Jan 11th 2006 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/


MSFT is using these sites like little pawns to push their weight around the format wars.



Regardless, this whole blu-ray/HDDVD thing is pointless for games at the moment. Do you think there's a game out there right now that can even leverage it? ]]>Jan 11th 2006 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/Jan 11th 2006 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/
or even Better:

Do sameone still thinks that Blue Ray will windows?



"A recent white paper published online by Richard Marquardt, an engineer who served in top executive roles at disc replicators for years, predicted that retooling manufacturing plants for Blu-ray could cost up to $1 billion worldwide, while existing DVD manufacturing capacity could be refitted for HD DVD for less than a tenth of that."

lol spectacular



PS3 will KILL the 360 and MS wont even know what hit em :D]]>Jan 11th 2006 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/Jan 11th 2006 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/Jan 11th 2006 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/


I think they made a mistake. They're console is crashing, scratching discs and I've heard it obnoxiously loud at playing dvds. Now they're suggesting they might have a blu-ray attachement? Sure I'm pro ps3 over xbox but I really think that microsoft will end up loosing in the long run by far. They might be doing well now, but this is only the first foot of the mile. Eventualy, I think that all of these errors will catch up and the ps3 will move own them. Of course I really can't say for sure that the ps3 will be flawless at launch but it wouldn't be hard to have a much better launch with much less errors and hardware attachements.]]>Jan 12th 2006 12:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/11/the-plot-thickens-peter-moore-says-blu-ray-xbox-360-possible/

And what about Apple coming out with a new iPod like every six months? Talk about milking customers, oh wait you probably are one of those people.

Regarding your comments and others about the Xbox 360. Funny as I own two of them, one a core and the other a premium, can tell you that funny how neither have had any problems. Each was manufactured on different dates and from different plants.

Basically you're just pissed because you want one but can't find one. So might as well bash it.]]>Jan 20th 2006 3:53PM
