Looks like Microsoft are not so sure about supporting HD DVD with new Xbox 360 now. And there’s no big surprise – just look at list of manufacturers that support Blu-ray and you’ll see who’s winning the battle of formats. I guess that’s why they changed their mind.
So anyway, Albert Penello, group-marketing manager for Xbox hardware has officially announced that Microsoft will consider offering a Blu-ray player for Xbox 360 gaming console. He said, “It should be consumer choice; and if that’s the way they vote, that’s something we’ll have to consider.”
An interesting fact that this statement came out right after Warner Bros.’ announcement about providing all their HD titles exclusively on the Blu-ray format. It seems to me that this was the last thing that they couldn’t stand. I’m really interested with this news and will follow any new rumors about Blu-ray player for Xbox 360.
