External Blu Ray player for Xbox 360 on the way?

According to an article by tech news site Xbit Labs, Microsoft has teamed up with Toshiba-Samsung Storage Technology Corp. to produce an external add on Blu Ray reader for the Xbox 360. The target price range is 100 to 150 dollars, assumedly to compete with the PS3’s console/Blu Ray player price tag. The unit is apperently ready, however the release date is unclear. It will most likely be released this Christmas season to take away the PS3’s Blu Ray advantage, or early next year at the Consumer Electronics Show to steal the spotlight with its new add-on.

All this seems a bit like a dream. Especially with Toshiba having stated several times that they aren’t going to be making Blu Ray disc players and Microsoft having said publically that they don’t plan on it either. It would however be a dream come true for yours truly.
