Microsoft’s Mike Ybarra confirmed earlier today that today’s update to the Blu-ray Player app onXbox Onewill bring added functionality for BD-R and BD-RE disks to the new Xbox One S console. While the app has updated on theoriginal Xbox Oneas well, the changes appear limited to the Xbox One S for the time being.

For those asking… yes, Xbox One S will support BD-R and BD-RE. App update should happen today.#Xbox

BD-R and BD-RE stand for Writable and Re-Writable Blu-ray disks respectively. As their names imply, they are a format of Blu-ray disks that can be burned or written on in the same way as the DVD-R and DVD-RE disks of old.

Will you be using this new functionality or is this a feature that’s nice to have but will be barely used? Let us know in the comments below.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
