What is stopping a 3rd party from making a BD drive for X-box360? If I were to answer my own question, I would say MS would never allow the licensing because of HD-DVD - period.

But think about it, Xbox 360 sells rather well, and does have a nice assortment of games. PS3 owners here love it for the BD playing abilities, but I do see complaints that it lacks in games.

I can only see a BD adaptor for the xbox 360 increasing the sales. I'm not trying to hurt Sony's PS3 sales, but anything which causes more people to buy BD movies is a good thing in the long run.

Thoughts?
