?? I know the fight between Blu Ray and HD is over, and Microsoft being one of the biggest backer of HD is feeling pretty stupid, but I hear rumors that Microsoft is bringing a Blu Ray player to Xbox. Anyone out there to verify?

I think it would be a pretty good idea. I unfortunally backed the HD craze back in the day. Everything HD, computer, HD player for Xbox, standalone HD player. I mean really, MICROSOFT backed HD. and overall, I think it is better tech. I mean really, its already come out with 150gig storage standard, but Sony, being sly like they always are, swiped a victory over HD with the flip of warner company. And then all the other movie studios eventually flipped.
