Default Blu-Ray Coming to Apple Soon
Apple Insider has made the startling prediction that Apple plans to put Blu-ray drives into Macs. The company signed up for Blu-ray almost three years ago, but we expect Apple was waiting for HD-DVD to finally die before committing to Hi-Def hardware. What is surprising in Apple Insider's report, though, is that Blu-ray almost made the cut into the latest revisions to the MacBook Pro:



Quote:
Apple had hoped to offer a Blu-ray option alongside its just-released Penryn-based MacBook Pros, but Sony has faced some quality issues pertaining to the slot-loading mechanism and laser in the SuperDrives. Apple was reportedly offered Blu-ray Combo drives in the meantime, which it turned down..
It could also have had something to do with battery life, which is something of an issue with the power-hungry optical drives.

And finally HD-DVD is close to loosing the war against Blu-ray...
the only thing blu-ray has 2 cope with is the hefty price of the media and players..but this will change soon when more companies step into the Blu-ray bandwagon.

thanks for the news
i think they probably turn down that offer due to Blu-ray high energy consumption as u mentioned.
