There's no surprise that Microsoft might entertain the possibility of shipping a BD[Blu-Ray] drive for the 360. After all, if it can hook up an external HD DVD drive to one the console's USB ports - as it announced last week at the Consumer Electronics Show that it will - it can likewise connect an external Blu-ray Drive.

You can hook up anything you want to the USB. Its a matter of having the drivers, or in the case of Blu-Ray. The software to play it. Sony is being a B!tch about letting software that plays it out into the Freemarket.

Darq, thats like saying you can create anything you want as long as you invent it. No $hit you can hook anything up to it.. but if Microsoft creates drivers for the 360 to incorporate a blu-ray drive.. thats amazing.. they are willing to allow a competitor's format to their own system?
