Microsoft is trying hard to keep people from believing that the release of an external Blu-ray drive for the X-Box 360, priced at between $100 and $150 is imminent; despite widespread whisperings that suggest otherwise. Does this mean that they don’t want hardware sales crimping their software sales with so many high-profile games set for release in the upcoming months? If that is the case then the drive should be available in January. [Joystiq]
