Can the current mac book pro play blu-ray discs?

Drama Prin

I bought a blu-ray movie and I am getting a mac book pro so I want to know if it will play my disc

Answer
You could do that using an external Blu-Ray player and yes it is able to work however how well your monitor is the question. Yet it can be done and has been done.

Is Apple planning on putting a blue ray drive in any of their computers?

Shawn

Im planning on buying a mac within the next 6 months, and i was wondering if they were gonna put a blueray player in. Should i wait till after keynote of '10, or should i go ahead and get something (This computer would be for my own work. We have a desktop for home, but there are 5 people living here, and work gets dificult.)

Thanks.

Answer
Hey, buddy. I would suggest waiting for Keynote '10.

I have long been waiting to hear the good news myself, and I can tell you right off the bat: it's incredibly likely they'll come out with it. In fact, I can GUARANTEE they will. It will be stadardised, eventually (For all devices).

The question is, of course, "When?".

I would say at the earliest it would come out during the first quarter of 2010 (Specifically January/February are targeted). That's also around the time the rumoured TabletMac will arise.

At the VERY latest: Christmas 2010.

Now I can verify via *many* rumours, that Blu-Ray machines have been tested and software has been developed in fore-support for it. (iTunes for Mac has even specifically listed that it will have compatibility with Blu-Ray media). There are far too many rumours for me to go through here, that certainly support the notion that Blu-Ray will be adopted.

What the setback has been this whole time, is Blu-Ray's licensing. Steve Jobs had noted that the licensing was "a bag of hurt". Basically, Apple doesn't want to end up paying more money to have Blu-Ray, than they'll make from the feature.

By the way, here's a giant pile of rumours regarding Blu-Ray you can sift through, if you need self-assurance (which I can relate to :P):

There's a bit of a solution to your problem here, in which you can get an Mac now, and have Blu-Ray support (though I would HIGHLY recommend waiting). You may know that (Intel)Macs can run Windows NATIVELY (No emulation, totally naturally), which is great. You could go out to a Best Buy, navigate to Newegg.com - or any other place for electronics, for that matter - and purchase an external Blu-Ray read/write drive - and use it in the Windows OS.

BUT, don't think for a second that drive will be recognised and work in OS X! It won't. Perhaps when support comes along legitimately, the drive you purchase will be supported. But like I said I highly suggest you wait it out, man. I waited when I got my Mac and I couldn't be happier!

In whatever you do, good luck, I hope it all turns out well for you, mate. God bless you, and merry Christmas! ^_^
