Also XBox 360 might sport a fetching Blu Ray drive
"CES The format wars have taken another turn this afternoon as Microsoft announced its Xbox 360 console might feature Blu-ray in the near future"

m$ have always said they would go down the blu-ray drive route i that appearedmore popular. people think its a massive blow for m$, but why, they dont own hd-dvd, toshiba do, microsoft will just take advantage of whatever market is infront and plough there millions into it. and for anybody who says, well its paying sony money everytime m$ sell a blu-ray drive for a 360, im sure microsoft make a shit load more off sony laptops with windows...
massive blow for HD-DVD yes, massive blow for microsoft? sorry..

m$ went down 3.2% yesterday, but thats only because theyre paying norwegians over 1 billion pounds. m$ will loose money, yes, but enough to bother them? probably not

i think Blu-ray sounds ace, much better than HD DVD!
ENd of the day HD DVD does not allow Porn on its format, there fore BR (see it sounds good in short form too) was allways going to win!

a) BR is technically no better than HD as both format have been made to hold equally as much.
b) the hd codec is said to actually produce better results than BR according to some movie experts
c) porn has always been allowed on HD infact it was BR that started by saying no porn, although they went back on this when they saw sense.

How is being 'forced' towards the better media a bad thing? If you're implying Sony are doing this.
