Could an xbox play Blu-rays with an external drive?

[retrospect]

If so is there software for this?

The original Xbox doesn't really have any connectivity for an external Blu-Ray drive, as it lacks USB, or even Serial IO, thusly, I don't think there's even software that could support it. You can, however, back up your Blu-Ray movies onto a computer on your network (or a NAS drive if you have access to one) and stream them to your Xbox using XBMC4Xbox, but, as far as I know, natively playing Blu-Rays on an OG Xbox isn't really possible.

Afaik the gamepad ports are just regular USB ports with other shape.

USB 1.1 ports.

Blu-ray on the original Xbox, no.
Hardware is far to weak.

Hello.

Here is an Example for PC Hardware is needed:

Minimum PC Requirements:

* Pentium 4 541 (3.2 GHz)
* Pentium D 840 (3.2 GHz)
* Pentium D 930 (3.0 GHz), 935 3.2GHz or 940 (3.2 GHz)
* Core Duo T2400 (1.83 GHz)
* Pentium M 755 (2.0 GHz)
* Core 2 Duo E4300 (1.8 GHz) or T5600 (1.83 GHz)

* 1 GB or above is recommended.

* GeForce 7600 GT, GeForce 7800 GTX 512, GeForce 7900



XBox Specifications:

* Coppermine based Intel Pentium III or Celeron 733 Mhz (can be upgraded to Pentium III Tualatin 1,4 Ghz)

* 64 MB RAM (can be upgraded to 128 MB)

* NVIDIA NV2A GPU (is similar to an GeForce 3 GPU)

So,I am very,very sorry,I think,there is maybe no Software for BluRay Playback on the XBox.


Thank you.
