Blu-ray and Mac Not Getting Hitched Just Yet
October 16, 2009
Sorry, Apple fans. Those rumors of an imminent launch of Blu-ray enhanced Mac computers appear to be just, well, rumors.
Appleinsider has reported that although there were some initial plans to include a Blu-ray drive on upcoming computers, manufacturers pulled back on the decision just before the latest Mac models went into production in September.
Yet, Appleinsider was the source claiming that Blu-ray Macs were just around the corner, leading me to believe that heck, Apple could very well change its mind again.
Appleinsider speculates that the company may baby step into Blu-ray by offering it through made-to-order computer requests.
That seems like a smart guess, but I think its more contingent on how well the PC market does with Blu-ray drives. Do we know if there is a market for this stuff yet? I'm not sure that people are craving a Blu-ray drive that could tack on $300 or so in additional costs to their Mac, when they can just get a Blu-ray standalone player for under $200.
