This Tuesday Apple announces there new laptop line. Experts think Apple will announce that the new Mac's will come with Blu-ray drives.

When the #2 laptop manufacture in the world jumps on board, it doesn't sound like a dead format.

 

Yeah, who better to force their users into a technology than Apple?  It's what they excel at.

 

I think you mean "offer the option", as I am sure the lower end units will only have DVD.

To bad Vista does not offer that option :p At least the 360 will.

I'm not sure what you even mean by that.  Vista is totally capable of BluRay playback/writing.  And I'd venture to say that if there really is a BluRay add on coming out for the 360, it will probably be able to connect to PCs as well.

Show me a link that says vista has support for Blu-Ray.

 

BluRay playback in Vista requires a third party application such as Nero.  Much like how proper DVD playback in XP often required a third party codec or application to run properly (maybe it doesn't anymore, but it used to).  The Vista-patched version of Nero Ultra definitely supports it, and I have it installed on both my Vista machines.  I don't have a BluRay drive, but it would definitely be supported if I did.

You're getting confused by the fact that WMP doesn't support it right out of the box.  There's a big difference between that and not supporting it at all.

 

 

Call MS up and ask them if they support BR. Ask them if they will support an installation of Vista that does not work right, with a BR drive in it.

I can get XP to run on a PS3 (ungodly slow through emulation, just making a point), it doesn't mean MS will support it.
