Microsoft is working to get ahead of rumors that started circulating yesterday regarding Blu-Ray support for the Xbox 360. It started when company CEO Steve Ballmer commented that Blu-Ray drives would be coming as accessories, in response to a question about the Xbox 360. Word got out fast, and last night Larry Hryb (a.k.a. Major Nelson) made a blog post to clarify. "Steve was referring to Blu-ray accessories for the PC," he explained. "As we have said in the past, we have no plans to introduce a Blu-Ray drive for the Xbox 360."
It does still seem odd that Microsoft's main man mentioned the accessories in response to a question about the Xbox 360, if he were merely talking about the PC. But, Ballmer does have a history of making erroneous statements regarding the console, so we can probably chalk this up to a simple misstatement. At this rate, an inaccurate statement about the Xbox 360 is bound to be dubbed a "Ballmer."
