Microsoft to Support Blu-ray Eventually - But not allowed to say so
>> Speaking to the BBC, Xbox UK head Neil Thompson is quoted as saying:
[QUOTE]
"Whatever format wins it is highly likely we will offer a solution. The only debate is if you want to watch Blu-ray movies and pay the extra money for that feature. We prefer to offer the consumer choice."
[/QUOTE]
But Microsoft's PR people, were quickly seeking to set the record straight and send this to spong.com:
[QUOTE]
The article implies that Neil is suggesting that Microsoft is going to support Blu-Ray. To confirm, this quote has been taken out of context and is not what Neil was implying. Microsoft offers, and fully supports, the HD-DVD format and offers consumers the choice of getting their HD movie content either via the optional HD-DVD player or via Xbox Live Video Marketplace (US only).
[/QUOTE]
Note: Microsoft officially supports the HD-DVD format atm so Toshiba probably doesn't like it when they say they would eventually support the Blu-ray format. But it's pretty obvious that if the HD-DVD format dies, Microsoft will support Blu-ray.
