SI: Rick Clancy Doesn?t Deny XBox360 Will Get Blu-ray Addon

[Christopher]

Rick Clancy, Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications at Sony, recently posted on the Sony Electronics Blog about Blu-ray and the XBox360. This is a very rare post on Rick’s part, as the blog is often used in this sense to dismiss rumors that Sony finds necessary to address. However, its quite the opposite tone in a recent posting titled, “Microsoft Now Supporting Blu-ray?” There is no dismissive rhetoric whatsoever, and he even seems amused by the proposition, which leads us to believe that the drive is most certainly real and will happen soon.

Rick goes on to say,”One possibility might be that the BD peripheral will be branded by another company, but still be designed to work with Microsoft’s game console.
