As it says, it's only a rumour so far, but seems quite possible!

The latest rumor has a subsidiary of Asus, Pegatron Technology, making a premium Blu-ray-equipped version of the XBox 360 that will arrive in time for the holidays. This one follows on the heels of <A href="http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20080331PD214.html" class="external-link">a report that Lite-On</A> was going to be the one making the Blu-ray drives for Microsoft's game console.

If you speak Chinese, you can translate the Asus rumor from Economic Daily News, a publication that <A href="http://gizmodo.com/386434/asus-subsidiary-making-blu+ray-xbox-360" class="external-link">Gizmodo calls</A> a "Taiwanese rag." While we may not have tremendous faith in the specifics of the rumor, Taiwanese companies aren't known to keep secrets all that well (that's a gross generalization based on a few comments I've heard from industry insiders, but I believe it). And it does seem logical that Microsoft will add a Blu-ray option to help eliminate any perceived advantage that Sony might have with the PS3.
