Gadget Rumor: Xbox 360 External Blu-ray Drive

Look around and I guarantee one of your friends, or friend’s friends, has purchased a Sony PS3 just for the Blu-ray drive.  Apparently, Microsoft might have gotten wind of this and decided to commission Toshiba-Samsung Storage Technology Corp. to build an external Blu-ray drive for the Xbox 360. Yup, it’s a rumor with no official announcement yet, but seems reasonable.

Question is, would you buy an external Blu-ray player for the 360? I might, but ultimately would prefer a stand alone box like the LG BD300.

    excuse me but blue ray is a procuct of sony corp. The likely hood that theyd allow microsoft to do this is like saying microsoft will allow sony the right to have the vibrating controller back. Wouldnt count on it.
