After being defeated in the format wars last year, it looks like Microsoft is finally adopting Blu-ray. In an interview published today by tech site Gizmodo, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer confirmed that Blu-ray will eventually come to Xbox 360 as an add-on drive.

The biggest thing(s) for Microsoft this week would be Bizarre Creations' disclosure of their strained relationship in the past (can you say awkward), as well as the resurrected motion-sensing controller rumor that seems like it's actually gonna be here to stay. Juicy week, huh? And that's just the tip of it all.

A few days ago, we reported on a rumor of a motion-sensing add-on for the Xbox 360, which came complete with a features list and a picture. Today, we've got an update on that, albeit also as a rumor form, this time saying that it may even have been already demoed at the Consumer Electronics Show last year.

Finally, your own IMAX at home! Stereoscopic 3D tech is now confirmed to head for the PS3 and Mac platforms, care of Next3D. They're going to release their 3D movie player software for free, right about the same time they launch their 3D movie service. Some of you have seen it in action as a preview back in CES and GDC, but now it's set in stone. Just as long as your TV is 3D-ready and you got those Shutter glasses, you guys will be able to watch 1080p HD 3D movies on your PS3s and Macs, and eventually, the Xbox 360 too.

We finally have a solid release date for the Rock Band game starring the band that rocked the the world, The Beatles. The game is slated for a release on September 9, released simultaneously worldwide for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the Wii.

More details after the link.

News broke earlier about how Harmonix wanted to release more than 5,000 songs as DLC for Rock Band by the end of the year. Epic? Yes. Possible? Nuh-uh. Harmonix was contacted to set things straight and guess what? It was a misunderstanding.

Does the long loading time of Street Fighter IV (PS3, 360) annoy the crap out of you? Want to play match after match as quick as you can? Capcom has been listening, and now Seth Killian comments on the matter to put all your worries to rest. Read up on that in the full article.

The dust has settled from the epic Street Fighter IV tourney between Capcom, Sony, and Microsoft. Who came out the winner? Capcom of course, hands down. It's their game :p. But the more interesting question is, who won between Sony and Microsoft?

So you they think are way too much music games now, huh? Well in the opinion of Harmonix co-founder Alex Rigopulos, that may not exactly be bad thing. In fact, it actually can be the key to motivate people to trying out real music, saying that it gives people "a taste of what lies on the other side."

Feral Interactive's booth at the CES, on Friday, sported a curious choice of casual wear for its exhibitors: Big Daddy at the back of their shirts. Now, it's one thing to have one of the staff wearing a specific game shirt; he could be a fan who unfortunately didn't pick up his clothes from the laundry and so had to go with what was the only thing left in his closet. But to have the whole lot of them wearing the same shirt? Or maybe... BioShock (Xbox 360, PS3) is coming to the Mac.
