Microsoft: No Blu-ray for Xbox 360

March 10, 2010 By Kunal Gangar Leave a Comment

Xbox 360

 

Time and again we hear a similar statement from MS so it’s not surprising we’re hearing it again when someone compared Xbox 360’s DVD format size restrictions to that of PS3’s Blu-ray. CVG recently had a sit down with Stephen McGill, director of Xbox and Entertainment and this is what he replied.

“We have no plans to adopt [a] Blu-Ray drive for the Xbox 360. In fact, the future of home entertainment started last autumn when Xbox 360 became the first and only console to offer instant-on 1080p streaming HD movies.”

It’s clear that Microsoft won’t accept Blu-ray as an alternative for high quality movies but what about games? Recently, Capcom claimed to cut down content from Lost Planet 2 game.

Apparently, new models as hinted by Steve Ballmer should resolve the issue.

  • Microsoft crashes hope for Blu-ray Xbox 360
  • Microsoft releases new Xbox 360 with Xbox One-like design
  • Microsoft job listing hints at new Xbox within 18 months
  • Microsoft to unveil new Xbox at E3 2012
