Xbox Live director of programming Major Nelson (also known as Larry Hryb) has clarified Steve Ballmer‘s statement yesterday regarding the apparent confirmation of a Blu-ray drive accessory for the Xbox 360. According to the good ole Major:
I wanted to clear something up. Steve was referring to Blu-Ray accessories for the PC. As we have said in the past, we have no plans to introduce a Blu-Ray drive for the Xbox 360. In fact, the future of home entertainment starts very soon when Xbox 360 becomes the first and only console to offer instant-on 1080p streaming HD movies. With a library of thousands of TV shows and movies to choose from, Xbox 360 owners can instantly watch the movies they want, when they want, in the highest form of high definition.
So there you have it guys, I guess Blu-Ray on Xbox 360 will not be happening anytime soon.
