Xbox 360 Gets A Blu-ray Drive Says Steve Ballmer?
I4U News —
... That comes out of now where. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer says in a new interview just published on Gizmodo that the Xbox 360 gets Blu-ray drives as accessories. Since the whole HD DVD disaster Microsoft always said no to Blu-ray drives and put streaming movie services as the valid alternative. Steve Ballmer might have said too much about the Blu-ray Xbox 360 drive as the official word Gizmodo got from the Xbox team is that Blu-ray quality video is coming this fall via the Zune Video HD streaming. So possibly we can forget about the Xbox 360 getting a Blu-ray drive or ...

The details would vary, but all the rumors shared one thing in common: They were all bogus. So why are we paying it any attention now?

Steve Ballmer confirms Xbox 360 Blu-ray add-on?
TechSpot —
Ever since HD DVD lost the high-definition format war in early 2008 , rumors have kept popping about the possibility of Blu-ray support on the Xbox 360 console, only to be rebuffed every time by Microsoft in favor of digital distribution. The latest comes from Redmond boss Steve Ballmer himself, however, who in a recent interview with Gizmodo hinted that a Blu-ray drive could finally join the 360's assemblage of accessories. Apparently Ballmer spoke with certitude when he mentioned the add-on, but not surprisingly Microsoft's PR guys later added: "Our immediate solution for Blu-ray-quality video on an Xbox 360 is coming this fall with Zune Video and 1080p instant-on HD ...
Microsoft again says no Blu-ray for 360
Fudzilla —
Image Ballmer puts his foot in his mouth again Once again, Microsoft has gone on the offensive to walk back a comment that Steve Ballmer seemed to have implied in a recent interview with Gizmodo, where it sounds as if he suggests that a Blu-ray drive add-on might be making its way to the Xbox 360 in the near future. Of course, the Microsoft PR police have taken this back, saying that it was a case of poorly chosen words and that the company has no plans to introduce a Blu-ray add-on drive or to produce an Xbox 360 that has a Blu-ray drive in it. Microsoft is also talking up the fact that the upcoming update will add instant-on 1080p streaming of HD titles, so who would really want ...
