Xbox 360 Blu-Ray drive

Sony and Microsoft are discussing possibilities of an Xbox 360 Blu-Ray Drive, cool. I wish it would be a reality, as the Blu-Ray technology is the biggest selling point of the PS3. Now a Blu-Ray Drive on the Xbox 360 would be effing cool!

But as we know that Microsoft has continuously said that there will never be a Blu-ray drive on the Xbox 360. But I think this option is to be considered because of it’s potential.

Sony’s superiority of the PS3 over the Xbox 360 is because of the Blu-Ray drive, because it can play Blu-Ray movies, fit more content on game discs.

Now Financial Times stated :

Sony Electronics US president, Stan Glasgow, claims his company is in talks with Microsoft about the possibility of a Xbox 360 Blu-Ray drive.

Microsoft could provide a Blu-Ray drive in several ways; it could offer a stand-alone unit, like with the HD-DVD drive. It could offer a “Premium” Xbox 360 which would be a level above the “Elite” Xbox 360; or it could include the Blu-Ray drive in the Xbox 360 Elite.
