Blu-Ray and Xbox 360? It's possible, says Moore
Jan 11th 2006 4:41AM (Joystiq)http://www.gamerandy.com/archives/2006/01/xbox_360_hddvd_1.shtml
I was at the CES and had a chat with a Toshiba rep regarding their USB external HD-DVD drive. You can read a bit about my convo with him. He _hinted_ that this could be used instead of the Microsoft one.
What I am taking this further to believe is that essentially this may all be USB. What other ports are there to use? Why else would it be external? Microsoft may even use that exact same Toshiba HD-DVD drive (laptop sized one) they use in theirs, since they work with Toshiba (they showed the HD-DVD player from Toshiba in the keynote... for what reason?!)
So... maybe if it is USB, then heck, it'd be just as easy to hook up a USB Blu-Ray drive. There is also a lot to think about what the Toshiba rep told me about how the software "is already there", you just need to add the hardware...
