Microsoft in talks with Sony - Blue Ray

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Microsoft in talks with Sony - Blue Ray

The PS3 has a distinct advantage as a home media system as well as a games console ATM. Sony want to get Blu Ray established in as many homes as possible as quickly as possible before the Blu Ray "window" closes. If Xbox 360 owners can easily access Blu Ray that opens a much bigger market for Sony. At the same time Microsoft don't want to concede the home media ground to Sony. Also Sony will definatly make money selling the Blu Ray drives (both bundled and unbundled) to Microsoft which will be a nice change for them.

Many customers want to buy a blu ray player ATM but are looking for a cheaper route into the market.

So it makes sense for both of them to look at sorting out an Xbox 360 solution for Blu Ray.
