HD-DVD Drive but no Bluray?

Why doesn't the 360 have a blu ray drive yet? I mean they have windows on sony vaios with blue ray drives on them, Sony doesn't own 100% of rights to blu ray and people don't have to stream movies just to watch HD movies. Just as they had an hd-dvd add on they could easily make a bluray add on.

This really surprises me since MS is always trying to grab market share of amost every technology. It's strange they haven't done this yet.

Bad idea I think. Just keep it basic for the rest of this gen.

No need to remind HD-DVD adapters of what happened.

MS is doing fine with DVD, expect it to be on the Next X-box, that or DD

If Microsoft wants to put an end to the PS3 all they have to do is release a Blu-ray add-on priced about $50. Blu-ray capabilities is what is selling the PS3, not gaming. And before people start with the fanboy comments take a look at software sales and you tell me then what people are using their PS3s for.

Why would they include a BR drive? The dev kits would still keep DVD standard and standalone drives are getting better and cheaper. Seems kind of pointless.

Wouldn't that be like M$ admitting defeat? Kinda like Sony/M$ did with motion controls

They should wait until next gen to do Blu-Ray. But, it wouldn't hurt to become a contributor to the Blu-Ray Disc Association now and work their way up to Board of Directors.

MS doesn't care about the HD formats (they're more concerned with DD and streaming); the HD-DVD add-on was simply a low-risk/high-reward attempt at killing off the PS3 before it even launched. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out that if HD-DVD had become the HD standard Sony would have a slight issue selling the $600 PS3, so MS slapped the HD-DVD add-on together for ****s and giggles.

It is indeed a strange endeavour to have an HD-DVD drive but no Blu-ray drive. What's the matter here?

It is too late now, besides MS is moving more units than sony, so why would they invest in an expensive media?
