Microsoft denies Lite-On Blu-ray rumour for Xbox 360

Yet again, Microsoft denied another Blu-ray for Xbox 360 rumour, this time with it officially denying that it is working with the Taiwanese manufacturer Lite-On to develop Blu-ray drives for its Xbox 360.  Microsoft added that its Xbox 360 sales are driven by games and remains focused on delivering the largest blockbuster games library available.  It also claims to have the largest available library of on-demand HD content.

Previously Microsoft denied that it was in talks with Sony about Blu-ray.  According to the Register report, Microsoft appears to be using careful wording since it did not specifically say that it will not consider the format at all, thus showing that there is still a possibility for upcoming Blu-ray support, even if it means using another manufacturer other than Sony and Lite-On.
