Take a look at the screenshot above that was taken from a recent MyPoints.com survey that has been making the internet rounds. The survey question simply asks which of the listed products the survey taker currently owns. Simple enough, but do you notice anything that just doesn't look right? No, we aren't talking about the Vornado Vacuum Cleaner (though it does sound suspicious), look one line below that. For whatever reason, this MyPoints.com survey lists an Xbox 360 with Blu Ray Disc Player as a survey option. An odd survey choice seeing that a Blu-ray Xbox 360 doesn't eveb exist. Does MyPoints.com know something we don't or did they just make a mistake? An even more import question to ask is whether these Blu-ray 360 rumors will ever come to an end.

They're just fucked up, probably someone who has no idea about video games made the list and got confused.

Actually I bet they updated their data base when HD-DVD ended.. And had a script run that replaced any mention of HD-DVD w/ BluRay..

Thats part of the qualification questions. If you don't check right item you don't allways qualify to take the survey. They ofter put fake items to weed out the people that click everything to qualify for surveys they shouldn't.

it says xbox 360 WITH Blu-Ray Player. I think that its asking if you have an xbox 360+Blu-Ray player? If it was this, it would have made more sense to put and but i think thats what it is.

I do surveys all the time. Sometimes I'm given descriptions of real items that show up on the market, sometimes it's batteries that get recharged wirelessly that I'm still waiting for...

Thing is though, if you do the research, you can find the info about that.. Wireless charging is and has been in development for a few years.. Ive always dreamt of that and when they get it down and after many revisions it will be great..

Microsoft whould put a poll up on Live asking if people want: a Blu-ray addon, Built-in Drive, Both or None.
That would make the most sense to see if there is a large enough market for it.
I'd want a external Blu-ray add-on drive - just makes the most sense.

I don't know, Balmer the Embalmer says Microsoft is looking into Blu Ray at least in terms of Windows support. It is possible someday the 360 may follow suit.

They probably meant to write "PS3 with a Blu-Ray Player". 'Cause that's what a PS3 comes with.

Considering that the survey is damaged by asking a question that cannot possibly be answered in the affirmative, this has to be a mistake.
This is akin to being asked if you are currently dead. If true, how could you answer?
