Blu-ray coming to Xbox 360 courtesy of Lite-on
Digitimes has an interesting article this morning stating that Blu-ray drives will indeed be coming to Xbox 360 in the second half of 2008.
Lite-on have refused to clarify citing client confidentiality.
“Lite-On’s shipments of the BD ROMs to Microsoft will start in the second half of 2008, the sources added. Lite-On is currently one of the suppliers of Xbox 360-use internal DVD-ROM drives”
Digitimes went on to say..
“Power supply makers also revealed that while the present Xbox 360 uses a 210-watt power supply, the next-generation game console will use a 170-watt power supply in order to reduce production cost and the size of the device, according to the sources.”
So it looks like HD goodness will be coming to our beloved console for real this time - will be nice to see a smaller console too though I’d have to admit!
April Fools? Perhaps…
