Default Why the 360 will never support a Blu Drive

You know after talking to people and just going over things the possibility and idea of a Blu Ray Add on Drive on a 360 is very possible, it's just that it would NEVER happen. And the reasons why it wouldnt' happen are actually kinda subtle. MAny people think it's just Microsoft not getting along with Sony or the "enemy" or something kinda silly along those lines but it's in fact something that's differnt from that idea.

It's the simple fact that Blu Ray uses alot of Java and Sun Microsystem Programming (Founder of Java). And MS has never really been on the greatest terms with Sun Hence their versions of Visual Basics and Visual Studios. In general Microsoft just would never want to pay out Royalties to anyone. I actually own a 360 and 2 Blu Ray Drives on my two laptops and have been holding out on buying a PS3 for the longest time but I think I'll picking one up super soon. As soon as Metal Gear 4 Comes out I'll be picking up a PS3 along with the game, lol.
