Sony is talking with Apple and Microsoft about offering Blu-ray Disc drives for their systems, according to Sony Electronics US president Stan Glasgow.

Glasgow revealed that Sony has talked with both Apple and Microsoft during a recent media dinner, as reported by the Financial Times.

Blu-ray Disc is the heir apparent to the high-definition optical drive market following HD DVD maker Toshiba's decision to stop manufacturing its rival format. Toshiba made the decision after several high-profile companies turned their back on the format, including Warner Bros., Netflix, and Wal-Mart.
