According to an Xbit Labs report, the popular Xbox 360 console will be getting an external Blu-ray disc drive, and "soon."
The report says that Toshiba-Samsung Storage Technology Corp. has been contracted by Microsoft to begin manufacturing the drive and that it will sell for the cheap price of $100-150 USD, in an effort to stay competitive with the Sony PlayStation 3, which has a built-in Blu-ray drive.
Of course this isn't the first time that we have heard of Xbox 360 Blu-ray rumors but it is the first since June.
Microsoft did not comment on the report and has always maintained that their business model was geared towards digital downloads.
