you know, wasn't it just a few months back that there was a rumour that MS has signed Liteon to make a few million blu-ray drives for use in the 360. Now its Toshiba and Samsung? May happen, may not.
Personally though, blu-ray is a waste of time. A decent upscaling dvd player gives you 1080p, and at a quality thats very similar but you haven't then had to fork out a shed load of cash on more Sony DRM loaded tat, or spend a fortune rebuying all you classic movies you have on DVD.
Technology wise, DVD will be my last physical media I'll buy. Can't see a point these days now when I would prefer downloads. But the perceived feature gap as mentioned, could be such that it might be worth MS looking for fill the space.
