Anyone know the answer to this?

I thought I saw something in the store saying that you could watch Blu-ray DVD on the XBOX 360. Is this true? We are having a debate at work. I don't honestly know, we have a 360 but I'm not spending $30+ for a DVD.

Thanks,

No, you can't. The XBox won't recognize the format and therefore will not play the movie. You can play regular DVD's in a Blu Ray player but not the other way around.

No. Blu-Ray is exclusive to PS3.

For a while they were selling an add-on for the XBox 360 that would play HD dvds (the format that was the competitor for Blu-ray). As others have said, it won't play Blu-ray disks. And even though there are rumors that they will eventually add that functionality, it seems very unlikely. The games don't use that format, and older 360s wouldn't be able to play anything new that did use Blu-ray. Plus, that's one of the reasons that the PS3 is so expensive. I don't think Microsoft would add something that there isn't a big demand for that would massively raise the price of the 360. (Though apparently they could now, since Sony no longer has the exclusive on Blu-ray technology.)
