Xbox 360 Gets A Blu-ray Drive Says Steve Ballmer?
I4U News —
... That comes out of now where. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer says in a new interview just published on Gizmodo that the Xbox 360 gets Blu-ray drives as accessories.

Steve Ballmer might have said too much about the Blu-ray Xbox 360 drive as the official word Gizmodo got from the Xbox team is that Blu-ray quality video is coming this fall via the Zune Video HD streaming. So possibly we can forget about the Xbox 360 getting a Blu-ray drive or ...
