The News: Now that the format war between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray is over, there has been a lot of speculation as to whether or not Microsoft would begin development on a Blu-Ray player for the 360. Those rumors have been squashed today as Project Manager for the XBox 360, Aaron Greenberg stated that there are no negotioations going on to bring Blu-Ray technology to the big, white box.
My View: I don't understand why a company wouldn't go out and try and get the most up-to-date technology. Maybe it's too soon for MS. Maybe they feel like the forlorn girlfriend whose boyfriend has gone away to a foreign country for a research trip and the boyfriend fell in love with an exotic Brazillian woman and never returned home. I think MS needs to get over whatever emotional feelings it had for HD-DVD, get on with it's life, and get some hot, Blu-Ray ass.

That was such a vivid metaphor! I think the only reason Microsoft isn't going to make a Blu-Ray player is simply because it is still too early. I don't know how many people would want to buy the attachment right now, nor do I know how many bought the HD-DVD player. I also think that, if they did release the Blu-Ray player, they would only get negative backlash from people in the public. "You want me to buy TWO attachments for my X360!?!?" I would bet that Microsoft will wait until the next console, when Blu-Ray technology is less expensive to produce. That is just my take on that one.
nice metaphor there.
if hddvd is a Brazilian babe whats bluray?
