"Microsoft isn’t so anti-Sony that it wouldn’t offer up an Xbox 360 Blu-ray solution if the format beats out HD DVD.
ImageXbox UK boss Neil Thompson told BBC News, “Whatever format wins it is highly likely we will offer a solution.”
Microsoft enjoys downplaying the PlayStation 3’s Blu-ray movie playback ability, often saying that Sony is forcing consumers to adopt a pricey feature that they don’t necessarily want.
"The only debate is if you want to watch Blu-ray movies and pay the extra money for that feature. We prefer to offer the consumer choice,” he added.
Microsoft currently offers a $200 Xbox 360 peripheral that plays Blu-ray rival HD DVD discs.
This isn't the first time that Microsoft has hinted that it would be willing to adapt to a Blu-ray world. Xbox head Peter Moore himself said a Blu-ray add-on would be possible, but also made clear that Microsoft is still firmly behind HD DVD. "
Resumiendo en Spanish:
Neil Thompson, ha comentado hoy que en caso de que el HD-DVD fracase y sea el BluRay el que se imponga en el mercado, podrian sacar un reproductor BluRay externo para la 360. Segun el, lo importante es ofrecer al usuario lo mejor y lo que tiene exito... y si eso pasa con el BR, pues no habira problema en sacar una unidad para 360.
Por mi opinion lo veo perfectamente viable y si me lo pones al precio del HD-DVD, para mi seria una compra segura.
