    In March, Microsoft Corp. has countered recent reports by saying it will not add a Blu-ray high-definition DVD player to its Xbox 360 video game console any time soon. (from http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/20...). Since then, I don't find any relevant news.

    External is more likely. But MS not announcing anything for XBox is even more likely. It is too early and risky to invest into Blu-ray while MS is still betting on online video download as a preferred delivery format. XBox Live is currently the market leader. So, I don't see why MS wants to rush into adding a Blu-ray drive.

    It depends on how Microsoft wants to go about it. If they want people to be happy, they'll allow consumers to have the option of buying internal or external. If they feel they can force their consumers' hands, they'll make the drives internal only, forcing everyone who already has a 360 to buy a new one.

    I know I can't make a prediction based on an if...then premise, but I think the chance for Microsoft to develop an internal blu-ray drive will go up further the longer the decision is not made, as the company probably is trying to get its engineers to figure out how it can be done. If they want to release it quickly, then an external drive would be more likely.

    I don't think the new marriage between XBox and Blu-ray is that tight yet. An external drive is more likely.
