This isn't strictly movie news, but is indeed movie related. Despite net rumours, a  leading video games analyst said that a Blu-Ray player with a built-in X-Box system is 'doubtful'. Microsoft had been rumoured to be looking at releasing a set-top box and a Blu-ray player with built-in Xbox 360 technology, but analyst Michael Pachter played down said rumours.

Speaking to GamesIndustry, Pachter said:

"To add 360 functionality to another consumer electronics device, such as a Blu-ray player, the manufacturer would incur relatively significant additional cost. That would place the hybrid device at a disadvantage.

"It doesn't sound likely to me, as the 360 is hardly as ubiquitous as, say, the DVD drive."
