Moore: Blu-ray still a possibility
The format wars continue! Peter Moore, after just announcing an upcoming HD DVD drive for the Xbox 360, has stated that they may ship a Blu-ray drive if the HD DVD format never catches on. Gamespot writes, "[Moore] suggested that whatever the outcome of the HD-DVD/Blu-ray war, the Xbox 360 can adopt the dominant format since its uses an external drive. He also suggested that it's a weak point for PlayStation 3, saying Sony's system is stuck with Blu-ray."
Perhaps, but if I were Microsoft I'd be very wary of trying to release another external drive into the market; it's bad enough that consumers are being drawn into this strategic media war. Here's to hoping a unified format can still be accomplished. Bill thinks it is.
