XBox 360 Going Blu-ray In Near Future

We figured it was only a matter of time until Microsoft began looking to Blu-ray after it dropped its HD DVD add-on following Toshiba's decision to discontinue manufacturing its HD disc-playing flagship products.

"We've already been working on, for example, in Windows, device driver support for Blu-ray drives and the like, and I think the world moves on," said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. "Toshiba has moved on. We've moved on, and we'll support Blu-ray in ways that make sense," he said.

It's expected we'll hear an announcement for an Xbox 360 Blu-ray peripheral in the near future, big news after rumors that prices will drop for the gaming console in the US.
