Despite widespread rumors to the contrary, Microsoft has once again denied that they are bringing a new generation of Xbox 360s with Blu-ray internal drives.
The rumor began again after DigiTimes stated that Lite-On was working on a Blu-ray drive for Microsoft and that shipments were beginning later this year.
Microsoft has since denied the rumor. “Lite-On is not manufacturing Blu-ray drives for Xbox 360. As we have stated, games are what are driving consumers to purchase game consoles and we remain focused on providing the largest library of blockbuster game available.”
The Microsoft representative added, “For our customers who want a premium movie experience we offer the largest library of on-demand HD content available and the ability to play back DVDs in High Definition.“
