We know, we’re getting tired of Apple Blu-ray rumors as well — they’re right up there with refreshed Cinema Displays in terms of rumor persistence — but until Steve and the gang actually shove a drive into a machine we’re stuck with them. The latest says that Apple is actively pressing Sony for slot-loading BD-R drives but quality control issues are gumming up the plan. Reportedly, that latest ho-hum MacBook Pro refresh was to feature BD-R drives, but all Sony could muster up were Blu-ray / DVD±RW drives, which Apple refused. That
seems a little odd, frankly — now that the format war is by and the competition’s already shipping
mid-range laptops with slot-load BD-R drives, you’d think Apple would want to cash in that Blu-ray Disc organization
membership card with whoever can
supply the drives. As always, we’ll see when we see — it’s gotta happen sometime, right?
