5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
It seemed that deep in the bowels of the Xbox gaming division, secret cogs were working on projects to cover the loss of the Microsoft backed format. And indeed they may still be, but it looks like those cogs were not working towards a Blu-ray equipped Xbox 360. Aaron Greenberg, Microsoft’s Xbox group marketing manager has revealed that there will not be a Blu Xbox 360. "Xbox is not currently in talks with Sony or the Blu-ray Association to integrate Blu-ray into the Xbox experience," Greenberg said. It seems that we possible got too excited when Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said ; "We've already been working on, for example, in Windows, device driver support for Blu-Ray drives and the like.” "I think the world moves on. Toshiba has moved on. We've moved on, and we'll support Blu-Ray in ways that make sense.” Looks as if the Blu-ray Xbox 360 does not at this time “make sense”. Perhaps we should move speculation to a Blu-ray Xbox 720. |
