Sony talks with Apple, MS about Blu-ray

Sony talks with Apple, MS about Blu-raySony is currently in the process of recruiting Apple to drop blu-ray hardware inside of Macs and also talking with Microsoft about supporting blu-ray - perhaps in the Xbox 360. This was discovered during a media dinner with Sony Electronics US president Stan Glasgow. If Apple were to switch over to Blu-Ray users would benefit from the upgrade dual layer or double layer recordable DVDs, storing up to 8.5GB per platter to a newer technology that can hold about 50 GB per disc. Apple rarely comments on future project releases, and this isn’t any different. Personally I believe that Apple won’t use the Blu-Ray discs in their computers. We saw with the MacBook Air that Apple is moving away from optical drives. In the future I expect to see Apple pushing out more movies on the iTunes Store in HD.
