Blu-Ray for Macs?

[JackBurton]

When do you guys think Blu-Ray will be introduced on a Mac? I'm hoping the next version of the MacBook Pro will have it. A 17" MacBook Pro with its 1920x1200 res should be great for Blu-Ray viewing.

Well, whenever it happens, it will be a very expensive addon. As it stands right now, you can get a bluray burner for a macbook/pro for right around $1000. And before you tell me how Dell has them for $400 for the Inspirons, I know that, but Apple uses 9.5mm drives, and dell uses 12mm.

Wow! I think I can wait a little while longer.
