Quote: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 wee'll be keeping an ear dangerously close to the ground.

My Comment: ROFL, Microsoft tripped up with HD-DVD I knew it was a bad move, but it'll be interesting if anything develops from this.

i hate Microsoft, if they do do this then it opens the floodgates to the MGS4 on xbox rumors and i would kill to not see that happen

ms never supported hd dvd all out
if they made it a part of the specs instead of just a addon i think the hd war might have had a different result
atleast they have accepted defeat now and are working for the future

That wouldn't be bad though, better chance of mgs4 on the 360 than none at all
