Remember yesterday we told you about the next generation Microsoft Xbox 360 which will have Blu-ray (See Here), of course you must remember this could be just a rumor.
Well if Microsoft do indeed integrate Blu-ray into the Xbox 360 this means that Microsoft will take on Sony and this is when a price war would begin.
So with Microsoft playing Sony at their own game, some sources have said that the Blu-ray Disc drive will cost Microsoft between $95 and $100 which is much higher than the $18 to $20 DVD drives that are already in the Xbox 360.
Microsoft could be selling the Blu-ray set up at a loss which means that Sony would have to or should we say forced to sell their PS3 at a lower cost to compete or do something else to win it all. The way we look at it if Microsoft are putting Blu-ray in their next-gen gaming consoles then it will be a good all rounder to see what happens and of course consumers being the real winners.

微软X360采用蓝光会导致与索尼PS3的价格大战吗？
相信你还记得昨天我们告诉你微软X360的下一代会采用蓝光技术，当然你肯定也记得这可只是个传闻。
那么如果微软真的将蓝光技术整合到X360里面，这就意味着微软要负担起索尼，而这就是价格大战的开始。
因此微软会带着索尼玩他们各自的游戏，有消息说蓝光光驱将会花费微软95到100美元的成本，这比现在X360已经采用的DVD光驱18到20美元的价格高得太多了。
微软能亏本的销售蓝光设备，也就是说索尼就不得不，或者我们应该可以说是被迫的要用一个更低的成本去销售他们的PS3，去和微软竞争；又或者做些其他什么的去赢得最终胜利。我们已经可以看到如果微软在下一代游戏主机加入蓝光技术，那我们就好好地做一个看客好了，当然消费者才是真正的赢家。
