You know whats funny I've read a few pages and haven't noticed anyone stating the fact that Sony owns Blu-ray and in order for M$ to use it they would have to pay loads (and I'm using that term lightly) of money to use Blu-ray and m not sure on Sony's stand for allowing the use of Blu-ray for their competition now if memory serves me correctly i do believe i read that M$'s sales rep stated he would not have any problems incorporating Blu-ray in their next console however that is only if Sony allows it. lol
Im not a big xbox fan but i wouldn't mind seeing Blu-ray on their new system.
