Xbox Blu-ray Rumours Fuelled Further by Reported Sony & Microsoft Talks

Is Microsoft’s Xbox 360 HD gaming console to get a Blu-ray drive?
Rumours are already rife and now a top Sony exec has fuelled them further.

Back in February we reported on rumours that Microsoft are not just
considering, but are actively engaged in making a Blu-ray player their
Xbox 360 HD gaming console a distinct possibility and, whilst some tech
sites rubbished the idea, it would appear that talks with Sony are
indeed underway - at least according to a top Sony Exec.The claim, made
by Sony electronics chief Stan Glasgow, was reasonably vague, and does
not give an indication as to just how advanced talks between Microsoft
and Sony are but there's no doubt that Glasgow should be considered a
highly reliable source.

Microsoft, however - and as very much befits tradition - are rather less
than forthcoming in merely stating that has not made any announcements
to this effect but, interestingly, it stopped short of refuting the claim.

That'll be a yes then.
