since HD DVD lost the format war, it's possible, but i don't think so because then everyone who owns an xbox360 would have to buy the disk drive.

well not so sure but i think my friend is one of those fanboys he talks everyday about how good xbox is and telling me to sell my ps3 to guess what buy an x360! still though thinking well is only gonna worse what the xbox already is since blue ray is sony's she is going to have more money and is going to help the ps3 and if KILLER369 is right they are gonna to make another hardware to support the new player and like shadeblack said besisdes having to buy another x360 since is a new hardware might RROD all over again! since in both consoles the first unitys have more troubles then those made now x360 would fucked up.

Actually it is VERY possible for Microsoft to produce a blu ray player for their Xbox 360 console system. The chipset on the 360 is capable of handling the workload that a blu ray drive requires. It is very similar to the HD DVD, but simply a different format. Sony is the “head” creator of the whole blu ray concept. However, Sony has no grounds for any civil lawsuit against Microsoft if MS would produce a blu ray player. MS would simply enter into a licensing sharing agreement with Sony (good idea on Sony's part to accept to increase profits) to produce such a drive for the Xbox 360. If Sony sues MS, then they would legally have to file lawsuits against Samsung, Toshiba, LG, Panasonic, and other electronic manufacturers against copyright infringement for producing blu ray players. That would kill Sony completely in a very competitive sales field already. The only reason that I know this information is because I have a relative that is a patent attorney in the Tampa Bay area, and a cousin that works for Microsoft.

No we won't be screwed at all. It would make sense for Sony to share some rights. Maybe make a little profit off the sales of others. it would just be a wise business choice. both companies do the same types of agreements with video game makers to release games on both consoles.

oh thats good news! that would make top line games fairly 4 both consoles since they will be very similar that would be a battle won in console wars maybe that would calm things down or just got worst since everybody is only trying to make money even more with the crisis.

i dont think 360 will get blu-ray. The chip inside 360 does NOT have the power to handle blu-ray. There could be an external drive for it though.
However, the next XBOX has a better chance of having it.
I’ve heard this story a million times…. xbots say how stupid blu-ray is, then they love it when 360 is supposed to get blu-ray , then they hate it again after MS denies it. Its quite amusing lol

that would be correct in some way..Dual Layer HD-DVD is 8GB…Dual-Layer Blu-Ray Disc is 50GB..that would be 6 DL DVDs and 1 Standard DVD..it's PSone all over again when that happens lol..and if i remembered correctly, Hideo Kojima is loyal to Playstation and I don't think he will just sell his masterpiece to Microsoft..

no it isn't.
HD DVD – Single layer is 15GB, Dual layer is 30GB.
Blu-Ray – Single layer is 35GB, Dual layer is 50GB.
Another main difference of course are codecs. Although HD DVD and blu-Ray are similarly controlled, blu–ray has the slight upper hand.
HD DVD – VC-1, H.264, and MPEG-2
Blu-Ray – VC-1, H.264, AVC, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4
Also the read speeds on Blu-ray are much faster:
HD DVD – 2x @ 72 Mbps
Blu-Ray – 12× @ 432 Mbps
So… can xbox360 have a blu-ray drive. YES! but it's not plausible to have it by default. it would be a new external add on. then the gamers would have a choice between DVD games, or blu-ray games. with the noticable improvement to blu-ray, it wouldn't be long until they'd discontinue the use of DVD games. when that happens, it's possible we'd be on the next generation of Microsoft's console.

Kojima said it himself AND QUOTE – “For us to bring Met Gear to the 360, it would take 5-8 discs.”

yeah because the 360 uses dvd, not hd dvd.
the 360 has add on HD dvd drives only – not by default.
and that's not what he said. he said; and I quote:
“it's not about the hardware – I want people to look at the game itself.”

just remember shade, 360 DOES NOT have hd dvd built-in. It was an external drive.
Ok, Kojima said that MGS4 was built using the ps3 HARDWARE, and that bringing it to the 360 as a port would be nearly impossible. he also said that if it were to come as a port, it would need to be 3-5 discs (excuse my mistake on my other comment above) to work on the HD External Drive. The built in DVD drive would take 5-8 discs. He also said for it to fit on 1 disc, they would have to completely redo the game, using the 360 hardware, which he said would “ruin the game”. And he (Kojima) is sick of people asking him if Mgs4 is going to 360. His answer is No.
remember this?
360 fanboys were freaking out. Then they found out it was for iPhone + iPod Touch. SUCKS FOR THEM!!!
If it was going to 360, i think this would have sybolized it better:
