Next gen Xbox will have Blu-Ray!

4.2
Earlier today, a Microsoft Durango Development Kit popped up on the internet. Included with the leak were 5 images of the "Microsoft Durango XDK Documentation Setup" which shed light on previously unknown parts of the console's hardware and functionality.  

What we find to be the most significant aspect of the leaked documentation can be seen in the image below. It says: "Durango consoles will have a Blu-Ray Disc drive. Disc media will be used for distribution, but during gameplay, games will not use content from the optical disc." What do you think of this?

Yeah baby! I don't see the big deal about blu-ray, but atleast we have it. :)


It's disc size increases a lot. Saves on having things like double-disc games because all can fit on the blu-ray. Not that I'm bothered by double disc as I install them both anyway. :P

They couldn't brag about anything before. They had Blu Ray and that was the only thing better in my opinion. Xbox Live is far superior against PlayStation Network and you can have parties, rather than only speaking to people if you are playing the same game. The list would go on but those are the things that spring to mind.

TopNotchKiNG A BluRay disk hold 50GB of data as compared to the current gen disk they only hold 8GB. This will allow vastly larger games with with better graphics for both the SP and MP. The new consoles will have 8GB of Ram, a BluRay and a Better Processor so this will be the start of the console gaming revolution, the line dividing pc and console gaming is beginning to grow thinner and thinner. Expect more pc games to pop on consoles in the coming years such as WOW, League of Legends, DayZ, Arma, and so much more!

Neither will ArmA, It's a simulator not a Arcade game
DayZ will not have a console port said by the Dev.
