Microsoft: “We’ll support Blu-ray”

[TheBat812]

It would really be pointless. By the time they develop it BR machines will cost the same price it would cost to buy the addon. Profit margin is too small.

Can somebody convince me why I ought to get an X-Box over a PS3 at this moment? I'm leaning heavily towards the PS3 both because of Blu-Ray and it has virtually the same gaming as the X-Box.

Cheaper

Better games

Better online play

Looks better (IMO)

Doesn't force you to buy a $50 controller for rumble

I'm also in the midst of debating between the Ps3 and 360. I just can't get the whole Blu-ray compatibility out of my head...

No one is forced to go out and buy a rumble controller and for the record, starting in June, they will be packaged with the 80gb system.

And how do you think you charge up the PS3 controllers? They are all rechargeable via a simple USB connection to the system or your PC. Correct me if Im wrong, but doesnt the 360 controller run on batteries and you need to buy an extra kit to recharge them as well as one to play while charging?

If you get a 360, you can play with me.

I didn't mean it actually forces you, I meant you had to buy one for rumble where the 360 already had rumble.

No need to get snippy.

I'm surprised there isn't anything on the current "industry source" rumors that Petragon has been contracted to make a blu-ray 360.
