Report: Xbox 360 With Blu-ray Disc Underway from Asus Subsidiary

According to a recent report by the DigiTimes, which cites Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) newspaper, Pegatron Technology, an OEM subsidiary of Asustek Computer, has won the order to make Xbox 360 consoles equipped with a Blu-ray Disc drive.

Just a note that we've heard all of this before, and Microsoft has continued to deny it.

If a Blu-ray enabled Xbox 360 is going to be available, then I suspect it's more than just the disc drive that would have been updated ... look out for a new processor, new GPU and quieter, cooler Xbox 360 (more like a "Xbox 540", although not quite a "Xbox 720"). For the record, MS has never denied that a new 360 build will be on its way this year with enhancement to the GPU (code named "Jasper") which will make it cooler at least, if not quieter.

Microsoft deny these latest rumours again:

If they really aren't working on a Blu-ray drive, who is making up all these rumours, and to what purpose?
