Microsoft said that they weren’t going to go crawling to their competitor and thus, they promised that they would not be producing an Xbox 360 with a Blu-ray drive. A Chinese manufacturer is begging to differ.
Pegatron is an OEM subsidiary of Asustek (the guys behind the Eee PC), and this Chinese manufacturer is saying that they have secured a contract with Microsoft to produce a new batch of Xbox 360 home video game consoles. This normally wouldn’t be a very big deal — Microsoft uses Chinese OEMs all the time — except for the fact that this latest batch of 360s are set to come with Blu-ray drives.
