Yep, I saw that too. Can't see the point of it as an addon when you can buy a standalone player (that's better than the PS3) for a little over 100 notes. Unless they sell it for around £50, nobody will want it.

Agreed. Knowing MS, it will more likely be £150.

Natal = good

Bluray = not really interested any more to be honest.


If MS brought out a bluray player = probably around 150 as posted above\
If MS brought out a bluray player and had to pay somebody else for the rights = probably around 200

Who cares about blu-ray!

They should bring us a multi-disc changer for it so we can leave all our games in and not have to get up to change them haha

The new 1080p streaming service was getting reasonably a good review in the video i was watching the other day.

It appears to stream instantly at a lower quality, and then slowly block out the artifacts as it buffers in the background.

Microsoft's Larry Hryb (a.k.a. Major Nelson) has gone on the record saying that the company has "no plans" for a 360 Blu-ray drive, adding that Ballmer was actually referring to Blu-ray drives for PCs.
