In a recent interview with the BBC, Xbox UK head Neil Thompson said that Microsoft is open to the possibility of eventually supporting the Blu-ray player on the Xbox 360.

"Whatever format wins it is highly likely we will offer a solution. The only debate is if you want to watch Blu-ray movies and pay the extra money for that feature. We prefer to offer the consumer choice."

The interview comes in the wake of news that the Blu-ray is outselling the HD-DVD format by more than 2-to-1. Brian Crecente
