Microsoft Xbox Chief Predicts Doom & Gloom For Blu-ray [He's Right,�Too]

Once upon a time, Microsoft backed a format called HD DVD and, well, that didn't turn out so well. But the departure from focusing on high-density physical media early on might have forced Microsoft -- and the Xbox team -- to look towards digital downloads for future products. UK Xbox chief, Stephen McGill, seems to agree and recently stated to gaming site Xbox Achievements that "People now�recognize�what a smart decision it was to keep the [Xbox 360] pricing low," in reference to not including an advance optical format within the Xbox 360. Then he goes on to�properly�slam the Blu-ray format.
