How is a streaming HD low bitrate? Do you even know the difference between how the audio is compressed on the blu ray compared to how netflix compresses it? You sir are a dumb ass.

@ Predetermined

You bought a PS3 to get back into gaming? LOL how has that been working out? 360 getting blu ray this generation isn't going to do anything especially get PS3 owners to switch over. Does anyone really believe developers are going to be be developing games for DVD 360s along side BD 360s during the console's golden years? I think not.]]>Jul 22nd 2009 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/natal-xbox-360-in-2010-rumor-is-back-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/natal-xbox-360-in-2010-rumor-is-back-on/They're low bitrate because they are low bitrate. HD streaming videos are about 3-4mbit. Bluray is about 30mbit.

As to the audio, I don't think you know the difference between the two. Netflix uses two channel stereo audio, presumably compressed lossily with AAC. It has an audio stream data rate of, I dunno probably 128kbit/sec. Blu-rays can use multiple formats, but Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio are the most common. These provide 5.1 (or 7.1, but that is rare) surround sound, and it is lossless (some people call them uncompressed, which is not accurate).

Also, Netflix streaming has a VERY poor selection of HD movies. Blu-ray's is good (poor for older titles) and getting better.]]>Jul 22nd 2009 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/natal-xbox-360-in-2010-rumor-is-back-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/natal-xbox-360-in-2010-rumor-is-back-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/xbox-live-gets-live-tv-streaming-netflix-browsing/
@E3 they showed a segment that talked about Microsoft's new 1080p streaming service thats coming out so I really don't see any issue here except possibly for the users who dont have a great highspeed connection.

"Microsoft says you will need a broadband connection of at least 8 megabits per second in order to get 1080p streaming. Given that the average broadband download speed in the U.S. right now is just 3.9 megabits per second, most Xbox 360 users will not be able to use this service." -http://www.physorg.com/news163273221.html

Good thing I live in Canada and have a 16mbps connection but as for bluray lol the ps3 has never really been a contender for me might as well just wait it out and see where technology takes us. :)]]>Jul 22nd 2009 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/natal-xbox-360-in-2010-rumor-is-back-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/natal-xbox-360-in-2010-rumor-is-back-on/Jul 22nd 2009 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/natal-xbox-360-in-2010-rumor-is-back-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/natal-xbox-360-in-2010-rumor-is-back-on/Jul 22nd 2009 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/natal-xbox-360-in-2010-rumor-is-back-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/natal-xbox-360-in-2010-rumor-is-back-on/]]>Jul 22nd 2009 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/natal-xbox-360-in-2010-rumor-is-back-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/natal-xbox-360-in-2010-rumor-is-back-on/

Maybe Natal will cost extra, so instead of ruining their lew-end line up, they will create an additional "system" at higher price points, in the same way that the arcade, pro, and elite are different "systems"
If they include blu-ray support with this rumored update, then there will definitely be a hardware revision involved. Not only the blu-ray drive, but also an additional or more powerful chip to display the movie.

Maybe you should get down from your throne.

Also, from an above comment, ever heard of a combo drive? that's where you can put lots of different discs in it. Developers will continue making games on DVDs, and we can watch movies on blu-ray. Hell, if the developers needed the extra space, then they could put the game on blu-ray.

For comparison 720P is only .9MP. The PS3's video res is only 0.3MP

Your 2005 cellphone took 1.3MP still shots. Even the Nokia N97 records video at 0.3MP.
