Question Confused Newbie

I bought a Sony AR520e laptop some time ago with a regular DVD combo drive installed. Specs are briefly core 2 duo 7100, 2 Gigs Ram 200 Gig HD, nvidia geforce 8400m gt graphics etc. The specs are very similar to the AR630 which is being sold with a Blu-ray drive installed. After getting conflicting information whether I could install a Blu-ray drive in my computer I contacted Sony via Live Chat. After long periods of waiting while the person on the other end was checking he finally decided I could not install a Blu-ray drive in my machine. Can someone tell me if this is true or did I just get a no because the person on the other end had no idea what the answer was. If it is no can someone explain to this newbie the reason for this. Is it a driver issue? Hardware issue? Can a Blu-ray drive only be installed on certain computers that have been specially built to except it? I'm sure my rambling is humorous to many on this forum but I am totally confused and could use some help. It would seem that I would have a computer that could handle the drive. Thanks.
