Xbox is not currently in talks with Sony or the Blu-ray Association to integrate Blu-ray into the Xbox experience,”
As to why they decided to go this route, he didn’t say but he did give this hint:
“We’re the only console offering digital distribution of entertainment content,”
Translation: If you want HD movies on your Xb0x-360, you’ll be downloading them rather than renting them from Blockbuster.
In my humble opinion, put one more point in the Playstation 3 column as I can use that for ALL my media needs. While I understand the potential of renting or selling movies online (like Apple does), I don’t think the time is right for that. Until it is, people will still want to rent movies on a physical medium. Which makes the Xbox-360 less desirable for that need.
