With the expected announcement from Toshiba that the company is going to stop making new HD-DVD players, the whispers that an Xbox 360 Blu-ray player is on the way have become quite loud.
The latest rumor comes by way of the Australian website Smarthouse, which is reporting that Microsoft has already been secretly working on the peripheral which could be released in an astonishingly quick period of time.
"Insiders at Microsoft in the USA have told SmartHouse that Microsoft has already configured a standalone Blu-ray player that can be connected into an Xbox 360 and that subject to internal marketing and sales approvals the model could be on sale within 3 months," reports the website.
The last time the company talked about the subject was when Microsoft Vice President of Global Marketing Jeff Bell was asked about the possibility of going Blu.
"You never say never. I think we'd like to see how things evolve. Our commitment, however, to HD-DVD is profound and consistent, and we have done very, very well in term of our accessory sales," he told 1UP.
