Xbox 360 Blu-ray Player

Microsoft is going to expand the multi-format of the Xbox 360. There are rumors that the company has already ordered a batch of external Blu-ray drives, and will soon announce the date of the start of sales (either before Christmas or a little later at CES).

Production is a joint venture Toshiba-Samsung Storage Technology Corp. According to rumors, the cost of the device will be in the region of $ 100-150, so the kit from the Xbox 360 console with an external drive will be quite competitive compared to the PlayStation 3.

This news is rather unexpected, because Microsoft has always been pretty cool about Blu-ray due to the fact that this format supports interactive technology BD-Java, and in fact the word “Java” acts on them like a red rag on a bull.

However, since high-resolution video is gaining popularity, Blu-ray support in the PlayStation 3 is becoming its main competitive advantage.
