Its actually not an April Fool's Day joke. They have something about
it on IGN/Gamespot today.
The rumor is that Microsoft is going to replace the internal DVD drive
with Blu-Ray, that's not going to happen. If it were, then they would
have done it with HD-DVD a year ago. I could see them doing another
add-on drive to replace the HD-DVD, but it's not going to be internal.
Microsoft shoots down the new rumor here:

I think they likely won't do an internal BD drive anytime soon, but I
think they will do one once the price difference between DVD drives
and BD drives narrows to a premium of less than 50%.
A lot depends on the 360's lifespan--if they want to keep it alive for
another five years, BD is a certainty. If they kill it early, no BD.
