thumb160x_hddvdplayerThe other day Steve Ballmer implied that after the HD-DVD demolishing in the format wars that it was inevitable that there would some kind of Blu-ray add-on for our awesome pearl white boxes. Well yesterday Microsoft trampled all over his hopes and dreams and maybe yours as well by coming out of their dark, dank offices where they are tenderly nurturing Natal and laughing manically to put a stop to said rumor. This is what they had to say:

“As we have said in the past, we have no plans to introduce a Blu-Ray drive for the Xbox 360,” Hryb reiterated. “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.”

So there you have it no Blu-ray for the Microsoft loyal fan base in the near future at least but then again do you really care? let us know.
