Why do you need a Blu-ray drive for a PC. It's completley irelevant for data storage.

Do you even need an optical drive, period? I cant remember the last time i used mine.

I recently used my drive to install Halo 2.

Eitherway, if we're talking about building a PC comparable to consoles I think the Bluray drive is relevant. Its the leading platform for playing physical movies.

You can install old games with it yes, but current games tend to come with a CD-key for a download service like steam. So u dont even have to put in the disc to install the game.

But yeah Bluray is gonna be the standard player soon since even MS got one now. Discs are all going to be bluray in the future.
