Currently, you can use a Blu-Ray for data, but not movies. MacOS doesnt have the codec for it.
2 conspiracy theories on this..
1) The 'required' encryption on the digital video signal isnt there. You'd be able to get round the copy protection via a DVI/HDMI breakout box. That'll be something the Blu-ray consortium folks will be leaning on apple about.
2) The more sinister plot... Apple wont support blu-ray as they want you to get all your movie needs via the video iTunes rental market. More cash for them.
