If Blu-Ray is not on life support by January 2009, I am guessing Blu-Ray will make it into Macs directly from Apple. If it actually takes hold this Christmas (drop your freaking price Sony!), then Apple will probably add it in. Otherwise, my guess is it will stay a 3rd party add on.
In response to your demand that Sony drop its prices for Blu-ray, the PS3 is a bargain for the price.
At this point in the product cycle for DVDs, the prices were much higher, especially in inflation adjusted dollars.
And other manufacturers are free to sell Blu-ray players at lower prices if they wish; those who do typically omit support for BD-Live and other features.
