360 to Support Blu-Ray?

In an interview with Neil Thompson, it was revealed that Microsoft is going to support which ever next-generation format wins, including the Blu-Ray.
“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.”
That would mean that Microsoft would have to release an add-on piece of hardware, similar to the HD-DVD player, to play Sony’s movie discs. That would be a major win on Sony’s side, but it definitely will not outweight the losses the PS3 is suffering.
