If the Xbox 360 is going to make it to 2015, Microsoft better have definite plans to get Blu-Ray compatibility on board on the ASAP.  In a recent interview with Gizmodo, Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer is quoted saying that we will “soon” be able to watch Blu-Ray movies on the Xbox 360.

The CEO had expressed that an external Blu-Ray drive would be the best way to get the format on the 360.  I bet it looks identical to ill fated HD DVD drive from a few years back.

At the moment however, Ballmer seems to think that there is enough HD content via streaming sources (NetFlix and the upcoming Zune Video) to keep the masses happy.  Are we happy?

How about that web browser?

Rumors are creeping around that the best part about Microsoft’s upcoming Project Natal will be its price point.  Right now we are hearing that it will go on sale for $50.  Sounds oddly cheap to me.

Will it be bundled with any Natal-style launch titles?

In other related motion controlled gaming rumors, Sony’s “Sphere” is rumored to be priced at $100.  Industry analysts predict that while the Natal is more of an ancillary peripheral in Microsoft’s mind, the Sphere is being looked at as more of a Wii challenger.

In either case, time will tell the true price points soon enough.

Wow, Peek just delivered a serious bitch slap to Microsoft/Danger!  They’re now offering disgruntled Sidekick users a FREE Peek Pronto device, that is assuming of course you can prove such.  Peek just asks that you “email sidekick@getpeek.com with proof that you own a Sidekick (photo of you and your Sidekick, a T-mo bill, or any form of hard evidence you can dream up).”   Make sure you provide them with your physical mailing address so they can send you the device.  This offer ends this Friday, the 16th, and keep in mind that you’ll still need to drop $20/month on service and the Pronto doesn’t make phone calls.

Well, folks…seems like you can now officially stick a fork in the Sidekick.  The first ever smartphone seems to be out of the game.

It all started earlier this week, when Microsoft announced they had lost all their Sidekick user data.  All of it.  Pictures, contacts, calendars…just plain old LOST.  Since Sidekicks access their data from central servers instead of storing it on board, that means every single Sidekick user (except for those who engaged in external backups)  just lost EVERYTHING.

Rumors say it was a failed upgrade involving a Hitachi SAN that took down the Sidekick network.

But Tmobile is sympathetic to the loss and in turn is offering a free month of data service–not REGULAR service, but data service.  More telling, however, is what Tmobile is NOT doing right now: selling any other Sidekicks.  Every one is showing “temporarily out of stock” on the Tmobile web site.

So you add all these points together, and it sure sounds like the fix is in for the Sidekick.

Last year on November 19th, the Xbox 360 saw a major interface update in the form of “The New Xbox Experience.  This year’s most major update will contain Twitter, FaceBook, and Last.fm accessibility.

Sources indicate that the update will launch in the UK and US on November 17th.

With this update sure to be fun and synergistic, the question people are continuing to ask is where is the web browser at?
