Microsoft's no Blu-ray plan not good for SA

Why the heck did I waste me predictive powers on this issue when I should have played the lotto!!! MAN!!!! lol

How sweet would it be if Microsoft would allow you to use external HDD's as storage space for installing games? Or better yet, why not make it as easy to upgrade a 360's HDD as it is to upgrade the PS3's! That would be loads better.

I heard thru the grapevine that there is a guy who upgrades X360 HDD'z to 250gig. For about R1200.
He probably exchanges the 20 / 60 with 2,5" Sata drive.

I would do that my self but to me it's just a waste of cash !

Peace "B"

It would be great if they have a firmaware upgrade that would allow the x360 to read "NTFS drivez"

Well we might just get our wish, check out the article on the homepage. If that happens then I will be stoked cos I have an iOmega 1TB just lying around. Now I can put it to good use.

In case you wondering why I dont use it, I have 4TB of disk space on my PC, more then enough for my movie and music needs. I also have a Mede8er media player with a 2TB hard drive, so dont really use the iOmega. If XBOX come out with this firmware update I will be really happy.

Well won't help you that much since it seems the storage space is limited to 16Gb on these external drives.

Yep, I just read that this morning. My idea just went out the window. I wish we had more of a choice.

I think BluRay is going to die a quiet death. For movies, the increase in quality is not worth the price they're asking (add the fact that you need a very expensive TV, PC LCDs are cheap tho) and few game title will be release until Blu-Ray is used by most. Ain't gonna happen methnks. The next medium will prob replace dvd.

Nah, I think you might be surprised. I much prefer the higher quality for movies from HD.
In my opinion 3D is going to be a fading fad. Until they can do away with the need for glasses at least.
