After rumors emerged that Microsoft was considering supporting Blu ray in the future, the company has put their foot down and stated that they have "absolutely no plans" to support any format besides HD DVD.
The rumors, mainly based on Peter Moore's January comments in which he suggested the company might be willing to adapt to consumer needs, have been refuelled recently by tech website around the internet.
"We're fully committed to HD-DVD and have absolutely no plans to support other optical formats," confirmed Microsoft on its Gamerscore marketing blog.
"We firmly stand behind the HD-DVD format as the best choice for consumers. Current reports indicating that Microsoft has a back-up plan which includes Blu-ray support are incorrect," detailed the company.
Lets put the rumors to bed for now.
