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.
Awsome news if you ask me.

I’m sure they’ll all adapt to that format but not in the direct line of competition. Remember Sony still is competing with them and they don’t want them to have a similar “advantage”. ---

Well I was just using it as an example. More to get the point out that Sony isn’t going to allow Ninty and MS to use this until the competition with PS3 is over.
