Call it one step ahead or a little bit of damage control, I don't care. But Xbox Circle reports that Peter Moore said he could see a Blu-ray external player for the Xbox 360 if Blu-ray ends up winning the "format wars." These are format wars that I don't even think should be happening, but Microsoft is already building a bunker in case things go bad. Smart on the company's part, by readying an HD-DVD drive and being prepared to ready a Blu-ray player, Microsoft is either thinking ahead or preparing to try to cut Sony off at every possible corner. This could get dirty, like catfight, squealing, mudwrestling dirty. I'm into it.
