That's why they won't switch to Blu-ray exclusively for games.
True, they will probably give you the option of getting the 4-Disc DVD version or the BR version.

I'm not doubting they'll use more than DVD's when it comes to a new console, but just hitting the brakes and switching the discs used for 360 games to blu-ray is a bad idea. How many MILLIONS of people will be forced to buy a new 360 to play their new games? That's what I'm getting at. Sorry if you minsunderstood what I meant. I'm just saying that a internal blu-ray drive is ridiculous if they mean to use blu-rays for games as well. External makes so much more sense.
It's about time. Now developers won't have to worry about disc size when it comes to making games for the 360.
Time to trade mine in when this comes.
I didn't misunderstand what you were saying. I never said anything about Blu exclusivity. I'm simply saying they'll make use of the discs, and will definitely, without a doubt, put games on them within 2 years of the 360 Blu edition coming out.

With the Xbox 360 turning 3 years old this fall, it's unlikely Microsoft would begin making Blu-ray games. It just would not be worth the consumer confusion and backlash when the next gen Xbox will likely be releasing in 2010. They will just save the BR games for this next system.
I'm guessing it's more of an attachment rather than a new system. There's no point in changing the system to include the Blu-Ray drive in the console, that just makes it more expensive.
And they won't ever make games for the Xbox 360 on Blu-Ray because they have to keep the requirements for games to where they will work on all the systems. That's why games can't require a hard drive for stuff like caching or anything because the core system doesn't have a hard drive.
They're doing pretty well with games right now where the amount of data is fairly equal to the power of the Xbox console, but I think new games that developers want to release on Blu-Ray will push for the next Xbox console to be released quickly. (take your time though microsoft, we're still hurting from the rush on the Xbox 360).
ouch!!! MS does this with just about every new OS though. MS will NOT make blu ray games with the 360. they've said it 1million times, and this far into the consoles' lifespan will not only hurt it, but also kill their next console when that time comes. i think they are simply offering the blu ray drive as an option to get 100% hi def out of their 360. besides, all of their current games in development for the next 2 years are working around DVD, to simply say "hey..put it on blu ray" would make their jobs almost too easy.Taking there time has NEVER been Microsoft's style. Everything is always rushed out early, with the hope and promise of fixing bugs later. If you need any proof of this, look no farther than Vista.

^ Digital signals have no loss.

Yeah and a 20GB HDD is ^^^^ing useless in the era of HD content. a 200GB and large HDD is what is really needed. I like that either Hitachi or Toshiba just came out with a new 320GB 7200RPM laptop HDD. And it uses less power than most current 250GB 5400RPM laptop HDD! But hopefully around the time we get a new console flash-drives will be super cheap and we won't need HDDs!!
Then why is the picture quality different if you use componant cables instead of HDMI?
And digital will have signal loss, with compression, decompression and all that
