Microsoft Denies Xbox 360 Blu-ray Rumors...Again

Despite comments made by Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer hinting at a Blu-ray add-on for the Xbox 360 in the near future, the company is now denying they have been or are currently in talks with Sony. Aaron Greenberg, product manager for the Xbox 360, says his boss's comments are unfounded telling Reuters, "Xbox is not currently in talks with Sony or the Blu-ray Association to integrate Blu-ray into the Xbox experience". This isn't the first time Microsoft has squashed rumors of a Blu-ray Xbox 360. During CES 2008, rumor began to fly just as Warner Bros. had decided to exclusively back Blu-ray, the final straw that broke HD DVD's back. At that time Microsoft claimed to still support HD DVD. Since then they've eliminated the HD DVD add-on for the Xbox 360.
