Financial Times reports that "Sony is in talks with console rival Microsoft about offering a Blu-ray drive for the Xbox 360." This is the first time we've heard any concrete details regarding such a move, though Microsoft has long suggested that adopting Blu-ray was a possibility. As early as CES 2006, in January of that year, Peter Moore said that Microsoft could release an external Blu-ray player if that format proved victorious (which it did); at CES this year, Microsoft's Albert Penello said adopting Blu-ray was "something [they'll] have to consider" if "consumer choice" demands it.

So when Sony Electronics US president Stan Glasgow says Sony and Microsoft are chatting Blu-ray, it's really not a surprise but an update. That said, Mr. Glasgow also mentioned talks with Apple, who has yet to offer a Blu-ray drive in any of its products and is (like Microsoft) focusing on digital downloadable content. We doubt Microsoft would release an internal Blu-ray drive, but an external drive seems like a safe bet in keeping with their HD media strategy.

:lol

Give it up Microsoft! Stick with the games and SHUT UP! Quit wasting money and get more games for me!
 
Unless they make it internal and start producing the games on it, I'll just get a PS3 for Blu-ray. But I doubt Microsoft will do anything like that, considering they haven't even started requiring the hard drive for all of their games.
