Itle make no dif MIcrosoft always said they will back the winner.
If toshiba pulls out we can always go blue-ray.
Or carry on with the hd downloads we get.

Also if they think it will sell, it won't the PS3 1up's any add on since the PS3's drive will be used for games and thats what people like, they want a primary player that they can also use for games.

Not necessarily. Sony isn't the only company that makes Blu-ray players. Nor do they technically own the format. They helped develope it and have a major stake in it. But Blu-ray is a disributed format. Meaning lots of companies can make players and they don't have to pay Sony to make them.

Either way, I'm hoping for a Blu-Ray attachment so I can finally buy it and watch movies in HD. Knew it was a good idea to not buy the HD-DVD for the 360 so soon.

If 360 gets blu ray whats going to happen to the games that are coming out with hd dvd? Or are there none out.
Blu ray should add to 360s edge since at the moment they have the games. But i guess all the developers now will be investing in bluray since hd dvd is out the picture.
If MS does go with bluray then i wonder when the next 360 elite is coming out lol
