Blu-Ray On Xbox?

After hearing that Apple's Macs may get Blu-Ray drives, I just heard another interesting rumor, this time about Microsoft's Xbox 360 game console...

Xbox 360

Since there's not much else to say, let's get straight to the point - according to Financial Times, Microsoft is currently talking with Sony about the chance to add Blu-Ray drives to their Xbox, since now, the Xbox 360 comes by default with a DVD drive, and also allows you to get an optional HD DVD drive.

Because the HD DVD format lost the HD optical format war, Microsoft needs to have this option replaced by something that users would really need, like the Blu-Ray. Obviously, adding a Blu-Ray would also increase the price of Microsoft's console, but as more and more producers will start using it, I am sure the Blu-Ray drive will start to become more and more accessible.
