Microsoft puts out latest Blu-Ray 360 rumors

Microsoft denies any new Xbox 360s with Blu-Ray

By T Sizzles

The boys at Redmond whipped out the extinguishers and put out the latest rumor concerning a marriage of Blu-Ray and the Xbox 360. In an interview with GamePro, Microsoft said "As we have stated, we have no plans to introduce a Blu-ray drive for Xbox 360." Microsoft also denied the idea of buying a game console to use as a movie player by saying "games are what drive consumers to purchase game consoles, and we remain focused on providing the largest library of blockbuster games available." If games are really what drive people to purchase game consoles, then what was your philosophy in releasing a HD DVD addon? Or offering downloadable movies over Xbox Live Marketplace? I'm sure we'd be hearing a different story if HD DVD didn't hopelessly die at the hands of movie studios and retail chains.
