According to the Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDM) newspaper we can expect Blu-ray fitted consoles from Microsoft by this year’s third quarter. After a few rumors and Microsoft denials we are not sure what to expect next. The newspaper said that Pegatron Technology, an OEM subsidiary of Asustek Computer, has already secured orders from the software giant.
The Chinese paper said that Pegatron is hired to assemble these Blu-ray equipped Xbox 360s. If this is true we just have to wait for next week’s denial or ’big’ announcement.
