A BluRay drive as standard for Macbook Pro, iMac, Mac mini and Mac Pro, but I think this would be good for Apple TV and iTunes Movies.
 
I wonder what a 15" MBA will retail at. $1699? or will it just completely replace the 15" MBP...
 
i don't think BluRay drive will ever be in Macs. I think they are going way from optical drives.

not the Mac Pro users. Still large amount of Post Production studios use MP's and delivering daily cuts/changes/previews on dvd's is widely used. Not to mention to be able to backup 50gigs on a blu-ray disc is great to have. Higher chance of a HDD failing during transportation than an optical media.

obviously, if one does not need such optical media for work will never understand the importance of it.
