Where is Native Blu Ray on the Mac? Apple doesn't have to release new models for an update.. just a BTO option on their current models. I know the OS supports Blu Ray for file storage but how about the option to play Blu Ray Media? What is so hard about that? Is it really that hard to do?
BluRay will come when it pleases Apple; I think they'd rather have people get used to the idea of buying/renting from iTMS because that's more profitable to them.

IIRC, Apple would have to completely redesign their boards.
BluRay's DRM (AACS and BD+) doesn't require any hardware DRM on the CPU/memory/GPU/board; Apple used to include more DRM related hardware (TPM) than they need to play BluRay, but they've since abandoned it. It's just a software issue (aside from actually having a BluRay optical drive).
