Thread: Xbox 360 Blu-ray drive

    Xbox 360 Blu-ray drive

    Se pare ca ideea de Blu-Ray pentru Xbox 360 nu a murit inca ci din potriva, este inca foarte activa. Se pare ca o companie mixta intre Samsung Electronics si Toshiba Corp. si anume Toshiba-Samsung Storage Technology Corp. a fost contractata de catre Microsoft pentru creearea unui player extern compatibil cu consolele Microsoft Xbox 360 pentru citirea discurilor Blu-Ray. Alte detalii nu se cunosc dar se banuieste ca Microsoft a setat un target al pretului acest player, undeva intre 100 si 150 dolari americani pentru ca o combinatie Xbox 360 + Blu-Ray Player sa poata concura cu un PlayStation 3. Desigur, nici Microsfot nici Toshiba-Samsung Storage Technology Corp. nu au dorit sa comenteze pe aceasta tema asadar poate TGS ne va aduce o surpriza de mari proportii din partea Microsoft.


    Unlike Toshiba Corp., which is still strictly against Blu-ray disc (BD) format, Microsoft Corp. has always said that it might release an external Blu-ray optical disc drive for the Xbox 360 video game system if there is demand. According to market sources, the software giant does have plans to offer its customers a BD option.

    Toshiba-Samsung Storage Technology Corp., a joint venture between Samsung Electronics and Toshiba Corp., has been contracted to manufacture external Blu-ray disc drives for Microsoft Xbox 360 game console. While the exact specifications of the product are unknown, it is rumoured that Microsoft aims at $100 - $150 price-point for the device in order to compete against Sony PlayStation 3 with Xbox 360 + external Blu-ray drive combination.

    The main reason why Microsoft is unenthusiastic regarding Blu-ray is mandatory support of BD-Java interactive technology and Sony�s reluctance to adopt competing tech called HDi that was developed by Microsoft. Even though Microsoft managed to push its VC-1 codec onto both Blu-ray and HD DVD markets, the company�s negative attitude towards Java prevented it from supporting the former standard in general. As a result, the company used to sell external HD DVD drive for Xbox 360.
    Nevertheless, as high-definition movies gain popularity, Microsoft has to support Blu-ray in order to leave Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. without an advantage of offering BD support exclusively with the PS3 on the market of video game consoles.

    It is still unclear when exactly Microsoft plans to release its external Blu-ray solution for Xbox 360. Hypothetically, the company may launch it slightly ahead of the holiday season in an attempt to steal an advantage from the PlayStation 3. But since sales of Blu-ray are still on a low level, the software giant may decide to postpone the unveiling till Consumer Electronics Show early next year in order to get the most attention of the media with new device.

    Microsoft and TSST did not comment on the news-story.

    Va fi doar Bluray player si din pacate la jocurile mai mari tot va trebui sa schimbam DVD-urile ca la Lost Odyssey. Asta pentru ca niciodata n-o sa ajunga bluray playerul la acelasi install base ca si consola propriu zisa.

    Blu-Ray-ul inca nu este necesar in jocuri , si pe viitor daca va fi extern sigur vom vedea jocuri in varianta blu ray si dvd simultan .

    o groaza de speculatii legate de vitoare accesori de X360.... dar nimic nu e confirmat... poze facute in photoshop sau alte alea .. suna bine si faza asta cu Blu` pe X.. MS`u incearca sa taie avantajele concurentei, sa mai ia o felie din piata. Om trai si om vedea ... desi... intre noi fie vorba... prefer oricand acel 'wii-mote x360' sa fie confirmat pt xbox decat un bluray pt cinefili. e totusi o consola de jocuri inaintea unui centru-MM.

    Daca BluRay`ul va fi disponibil decat pt. filme HD, cu ce naiba ii loveste pe cei care isi modifica consola?! pe mine m`ai pierdut... Microsoft va scoate aceasta unitate (daca o va scoate vreodata) doar ca sa anuleze avantajul multimedia al PS3`ului.. si sa mai castige din piata cinefililor.. dar pana BluRay`ul nu va fi STANDARD... nu vor exista jocuri in acest format pt X360 ... cum ar fi sa`mi cumpar un xbox360 si sa vad cum ultimele jocuri nu imi merg pt. ca am nevoie sa mai cumpar un accesoriu ? Not gonna` happen.

    100 - 150 USD pentru un BluRay player... ce nu va convine ?
    Eu zic ca e o chestie super... trebuia sa fi fost implementata mai demult ideea... E normal ca pt. o consola "next-gen" sa suporte filme in format full-hd si de pe disk (si nu doar in format digital).
