Blu-ray add-on coming for Xbox 360, says Ballmer

article published on 22 October, 2009

Gizmodo interviewed Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and it seems like Xbox 360 owners will soon be able to get Blu-ray add-ons for their drives. When the site asked Ballmer about Blu-ray for the gaming console, Ballmer said: "Well I don't know if we need to put Blu-ray in there -- you'll be able to get Blu-ray drives as accessories."

Ok, this is getting a bit silly and slightly off track. My original notion was to state that Pioneer as a "company" are not the head of the BDA. I think it is possible that Andy Parsons could have a dual role but I am sure that he treats each role with individuality.

However, that was going off track from my original point, which is that I still think Sony and Pioneer as a company play an equal part in the BDA.

PS: Just to make sure that it doesn't look like I am a Sony freak, I have a $4,400 Pioneer AV Receiver (Susano Concept) and I love it!
