New Apple Hardware...No Blu-ray Offerings

[marzetta7]

Hmm. Wow. As much of an Apple fan that I am, I seriously question Apple's move with no Blu-ray offerings in their new computers released today...

Not even a Blu-ray drive option when you build a Mac Pro! I mean c'mon! I've been seriously waiting for a long time for a Blu-ray drive in a Mac, and unfortunately, it doesn't appear this will happen at this rate until 2010. That kind of sucks.

What do you all think of the chances of having a Blu-ray drive upgrade option toward the latter part of 2009 given the simplified licensing structure for Blu-ray? I know Apple has been a critic of the licensing fees, but now that it has been simplified, I thought Apple might jump in. We'll see I guess.
