[QUOTE="lifeafter2am, post: 746217, member: 20101"] BluRay comprises less than 8% of the market right now (and, by the current market analysis, it looks to be either holding steady or dropping slightly, not increasing). We have had this discussion many times on this forum in the last week or so, and the consensus is mostly that IF BluRay does take off, it will take a while. That is an if though, as there are no major advantages to the format bar media size, which at this current point in time, is not enough to do anything. Not to mention that I have read about horrible licensing issues by Sony, since it is their technology. Now, 5 years down the road, it is POSSIBLE that it will be the new format, but what are you going to do, wait 5 years to get a Mac? I agree with the previous poster, get it now, while you can get it cheap, and if it becomes the standard, hook up an external BluRay drive to that FireWire 800 port on the Pro (or an eSATA Expresscard possibly).
