Not supporting BluRay in their next console is stupid, but they could pull a Nintendo and say they are all about the games. MS does what it likes anyways, that said...I suppose they could have a combo drive. BluRay for movie playback, one time hardware fee for each system sold...but for games they avoid the BluRay licensing fee on each disk...that would make economic sense...and crush piracy all at the same time [since no one else will be supporting it by then at ALL]. I could actually see them doing this... Sega and Nintendo both enjoyed making their own disk formates... it could easily happen again. But will it? I'm indifferent, because at the end of the day its only a storage medium and I don't buy MS consoles, paying to play online is for suckers lol.
