Sony "in talks" with Microsoft about a Xbox 360 Blu-ray drive

Sony "in talks" with Microsoft about a Xbox 360 Blu-ray drive

Microsoft looking to get Blu-Ray hooked up with the 360

By Darren Murph

About 48 milliseconds after the format war was officially over, rumors started running rampant (again) about Blu-ray making its way over to Microsoft's latest console. Now, however, those rumors actually have some legs -- well, at least a leg. According to Stan Glasgow, Sony Electronics US president, "Sony is in talks with console rival Microsoft about offering a Blu-ray drive for the Xbox 360." For whatever it's worth, the exec also noted that it was having similar discussions with Apple, which has yet to even offer a Blu-ray option on any of its machines. Unfortunately, not a peep was uttered about potential launch dates and the like, but you can rest assured that we'll be keeping an ear dangerously close to the ground.

Blu-ray and HD-DVD's don't really have any noticeable affect unless you have a tv to support it. DLP b!tch3s, DLP...

Effin M$ST.
They should take back out HDDVD units and replace the guts with a Blu ray drive for a small cost.

I bought my 360 HD DVD addon from Newegg on Feb. 27 for $50. The 5 free HD DVD movies offer ended on the 28, so I got it for a steal .

Not like I'll ever use it much, just as a collector's item.

Even if they make a BD drive I doubt I would buy it unless it was like $100.
