Petition for Blu-ray add-on for the Xbox 360

[HighDefChief]

I know a lot of people here hate Microsoft and the XBox 360. But a Blu-Ray add-on for it would rock, why not? Make Microsoft's dream of digital downloads falter for a little while longer

There is absolutely no way you could ever get me to sign that crap. Anything that Microcrap touches turns to "crap" eventually.

NO THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I believe they said it was 'something they'd have to consider'. Phrasing it that way doesn't mean they're really forced to do anything.

Why would anybody want RRoD while trying to watch there BD's???

When this thing is all said and done, a lot of our old adversaries are going to be on our team.

That medicine may do down awful, but it's critical for our health. Remember, the next big battle is Blu-ray vs. SD. And having an increased blu-ray installed base (on X-box) won't hurt!

Here's what M$ might say, "as a result of us backing HD DVD, which has just lost the format war, we hereby, make our announcement on shifting our focus on only doing hi-def downloads as the perfect choice for consumers, as it is what is best for the future". Thats my predection on how M$ will go after BD has won.

There's always another team! Today it's HD-DVD, tomorrow it's SD, and finally the world!!!

(sorry, all this good news lately is hard to contain).

[xtop]

the irony of hating microsoft is those same people still use a windows machine.

this would be nothing but good for blu-ray overall.

[ground chuck]

this needs to go up on AVS!!

No matter how many signatures this petition gets (I certainly am NOT signing it ), SONY will NOT give away one of their BIGGEST competitive advantage to Microsoft's RROD CRAPBOX360. One of the biggest reasons SONY and the BDA won this war is the PS3. The BDA is not about to backstab the PS3 in the back.

You can FORGET about this as it will NEVER happen.

I don't know. I'm sure Panasonic and Samsung aren't all too happy that the PS3 makes up the extreme majority of Blu-Ray players. If Panasonic licenses Microsoft to release a Blu-Ray player which is made from Panasonic (like the HD DVD drive was a Toshiba) well that would be great for Panasonic. Sony doesn't deserve a monopoly on HD no matter how much they really really want it.

Although it is interesting to see the irrational hatred of Microsoft on this board.

iam with you who the hell needs a xbox 360 ps3 all the way

[Slapper]

Signed it. There are a ton of MS fanboys/Sony Blu-ray haters that might think differently about Blu-ray if there was an add-on for the 360. There's a big market there. XBOX360 owners know that the RROD is just a part of the overall XBOX360 experience () so adding a little class to the platform via a blu-ray add-on could only help Microsoft and the BDA as a whole. Would it tick off Sony? Probably. Not my problem though, because I'm not a brainwashed fanboy. I say promote the Blu-ray format. That said, the PS3 is a powerhorse - an absolutely fantastic piece of equipment and as long as Sony can keep up their QC then the console war will play out in Sony's favor regardless of whether or not MS releases a Blu-ray add-on or not.

[Sane]

Consoles have always and will continue to exchange "top spot" over time. Formats on the other hand are decided and left unchanged for years until a new one comes along. At the very least, a Blu-ray drive will help people see the difference between a format war and a console one (for those worried, we're only talking movies here - MS will still have issues for limited game capacity down the road). Microsoft would be a huge help for Blu-ray!

[haushausman]

Screw the CrapBox and everything it involves. Microsoft needs to go back to just screwing up operating systems and not video games as well.

The PS3 is all you need. If you REALLY really want an XBox exclusive play it on PC (which is better than 360 anyways).
