This is sad news indeed for XBox owners hoping to get into Blu-ray on the cheap

Cheap

When you tack on royalties to Sony for every XBOX 360 drive made, it would cost $300.

How is that cheap???

Does everyone think that a Blu Ray drive for the XBOX 360 would be selling for 50 bucks when a Blu ray drive for PC's is selling for $250-$300+???

Sony is losing money like crazy on the subsidized P$3 pricing, Micro$oft would be best to stand way clear of anything to do with Blu Ray.

Now as to that DVD2 drive for the XBOX360........

Oh right, it already has one built in.

Maybe all those rumored talks between $ony and Micro$oft are discussions about the DVD2 add-on drive for the P$3???

Funny, my indepth research shows a consumer end cost of $129.99 for an addon. Of course a cute little case and an included cable might raise the price by $10:

I'm so sorry for you XBox owners, having to now buy a PS3 too just to get Blu-ray playback.

Don't feel sorry - after all you had to do it.

Tim, I don't care so much for some of your commentary, but the illustrations are....PRICELESS

I adapted my BR drive to my USB assembly of the HD DVD USB case, and got it to recognize it as a USB storage device, but I need a driver adaptable for the xbox. I'm going to try writing one this weekend. I just decompiled the software disk for the 360 HD DVD drive. I'm going to see if I can rewrite the files with the BD-ROM driver instead!!!

I might have the first BD-ROM for XBOX!!! I could sell them for BIG $$$$$$$$$

I think us Wii60 owners should just wait and see if Blu-ray actually becomes mainstream. I don't need a POS3, my PS2 plays the games just fine I honestly don't care about Final fantasy 900 or whatever.

I dunno about that crap but I'm ready to make the leap to PSWii60 in June.
