The answer to "How do you play BR on a mac?" is:
Get a PC, place it on top of your mac, insert disk into BR drive, and hit play!

A Mac is a PC = Personal Computer.
To play Blu-ray on a shit Mac just use BootCamp/VMWare or build a better computer and buy a far cheaper BD Drive compared to how much Apple with overcharge for.

Edit: Apparently from Post# 74 there is now perfected Blu-ray compatibility for newer Macs with ( http://www.macblurayplayer.com/ ).

The licensed HDCP is now somehow decoded via the internet connection and mac blu-ray software / hardware/rom player connections.

Minimum recomendation requirements:
Mac:
OS X 10.5+
Intel Core2 Duo 2.4GHz processor or higher recommended
512 MB or higher recommended...

As stated earlier in this thread, the reason is because Macs do not have licensed HDCP capability in the hardware or the software and neither does any of the Macintosh HD monitors. Although I've experienced one hack/software that played portions of a commercial Blu-ray encoded theatrical feature, but it had no play control and stuttered sporadically.
Just build an HTPC or build a new computer which will leave all Apples in the dust. Oh wait mine already does.
