xboxlive-sbMicrosoft CEO Steve Ballmer is known to talk about things and then Microsoft has to come back and clarify what he has said. Ballmer had another senior moment yesterday when was allegedly got confused when asked a question about Blu-ray on the Xbox 360.

Ballmer’s comments lead many to believe that Blu-ray accessories were coming for the Xbox 360. Major Nelson reports today that Ballmer was referring to Blu-ray accessories for the PC in his comments and there are no plans to add Blu-ray to the Xbox 360.

The lack of a Blu-ray device for the Xbox is going to be offset “very soon” reports Major Nelson with streaming on demand 1080p movies. Exactly how the streaming flicks will be delivered is unknown, but the Netflix partnership is presumably the path.
