Default XBox 360 just got it's sack back

Microsoft finally gave their XBox a set of nuts.

In the below article, Xbox is recruiting Toshiba and Samsung to create an external Blu-Ray player. It is said to cost about 100.00 - 150.00 and it's already set to go.

Within a month or so, Netflix is going to stream any movie you can currently watch online to the Xbox, there will be no extra cost or hardware to buy.

On a side note, Netflix is going to charge peeps and extra 1.00 a month for Blu-Ray, not bad if they expand their Blu-Ray library. Now I just need the brand new 160.00 Onkyo 5.1 receiver.

Ooh Sookey-Sookey!! GOW2 is going to be badass! I may have to play through the first one again to refresh my memory. I also want to get Fallout 3! That game looks pretty nice too.

Microsoft, made a good move going down this route. I knew it was said they could have done it anytime they wanted. I can't wait to watch some stuff on my 1080p!

Marcel I think the Blu-Ray player will be well worth the money. 1080p, high def audi uncompressed. It's better than spending 500.00+ on the other players.

I never played Gears of War, is that the game with two players where you cant beat it unless you play with a buddy? You know the game where you said you can drag your wounded buddy (me for example) and I can shoot as I'm being dragged?
