Chief executive of Microsoft Steve Ballmer has confirmed that his firm is looking at ways to back the HD format Blu-ray.

While Ballmer avoided linking his announcement directly with the Xbox 360, he admitted Microsoft is ready to move on following the demise of HD-DVD.

"We've already been working on, for example, in Windows, device driver support for Blu-ray drives and the like, and I think the world moves on," said Ballmer at the Mix08 conference.

"Toshiba has moved on. We've moved on, and we'll support Blu-ray in ways that make sense."

Recent news of Sony holding talks with Microsoft has led to many industry insiders expecting the US firm to announce an add-on Blu-ray drive for the Xbox 360.

it would be kool if this time the console actually has the blue ray inside and not an add on. i never bought the HD DVD add on. im not a big fan of HD movies. im happy with DVD's plus, i didnt really buy the xbox just to watch movies.

It was obvious to me that blueray would win, people will always go for new technology over vastly improving what we're use to. Microsoft would be dumb not to back blu-ray, but I doubt people will want to watch movies on their xbox.
