Digitimes reports that "Microsoft has asked Lite-On to get ready to meet possible increased orders for Xbox 360 DVD-ROM drives..."
So, does this put one more nail in the coffin containing 'news' of a Blu-ray add-on for the 360?

Expect a possible price drop at the start of Q4.

yeah the rumored price drop (200,300 and 400) is likely with this, leading into holiday sales, which would explain why they would need more drives to meet the impending demand they're expecting.

Besides, this stinks of a PR story itself. Microsoft has prepared for a possible increase in demand? That's just trying to say the 360 is getting even more popular and Blu-Ray isn't needed.
