Boing Boing have news on a rumour that keeps cropping up. The XBox 360 may be getting Blu-Ray sooner rather than later
X-Bit Labs is reporting that Microsoft not only plans on releasing an external Blu-Ray drive for the 360, but that it's already basically ready to go at a $100-$150 price point. Good news if true: Blu-Ray is one of the only real advantages the PS3 has over the 360, and a Blu-Ray drive could help even out the feature list... even if Microsoft has to swallow a bit of pride to do so.

UPDATE: For their part, Microsoft is still denying the inclusion of Blu-ray in the 360.
Just so you know the image above is just a mock up. Not sure why Microsoft are dragging their feet on this. HDDVD is dead and gone. My son has a 360 that he kindly lets me use and I want Blu Ray. Who else is with me?
A blu-ray drive for x-box would be wonderful and after they announce that they need to announce Little Big Planet for the x-box as well thus eliminating all need for me to get a PS3. I didnt get caught up in the hype till just recently but those sackboys are soooo cute, they call to me.
