Xbox 360 Blu-Ray To Arrive
By Caroline Warnes | Friday | 07/15/2007
The long-awaited Blu-ray add-on to the Xbox 360 console will finally arrive on Spring 2008.
The add-on is a drive that draws its processing power from the console, allowing you to watch high-definition movies.
It´s being billed as a cost-effective means to getting a high-definition player in your lounge room.
While existing owners of a 360 will be able to get the Blu-Ray experience, Microsoft claims it´s still the cheapest way of getting a Blu-Ray player, even if you don´t own the console. That´s significantly cheaper than any Blu-ray player currently on the market and less than the PS3, which also comes with the functionality of a Blu-ray player and will retail. That price becomes even more attractive with the news that the add-on is being bundled with the remote control and a copy of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World´s End in high-def for no extra charge.
