Crushed Rumor: Microsoft not yet considering Blu-ray support for Xbox 360
When Reuterspublished its article, “Microsoft’s Xbox could consider Blu-ray support,“ on January 8, 2008, rumors began spreading about the upcoming possibilities the Blu-Ray technology could bring to the Xbox 360.
According to GameDaily, Microsoft Marketing Manager Albert Penello said Reuters had mistaken what Penello told them and came to their own conclusions. In fact, he told Gizmodo that Microsoft never even considered supporting Blu-ray for the XBox system.
“It should be consumer choice; and if that’s the way they vote, that’s something we’ll have to consider,“ Penello told Reuters.
Currently, the Xbox 360 system supports standard definition and high definition video output and supports games with 16:9 widescreen, anti-aliasing, and high-definition video (720p minimum.)
Although this rumor has been smashed to pieces, there are those on the internet clinging to the idea that some day Microsoft will consider supporting Blu-ray. For now, its only a rumor.
