I tried one of my dvd movies in it about a month ago; discovered my drive was set to region one and didn't like the region two disk. Quite useless.

If it were up to me, I would use the extra space as ventilation for a more powerful CPU and increase battery size. Bring on the 15' Air! Or, err.... the optical drive less Macbook PRO! 😱
 
Almost never. I've fitted a second hard drive, so the optical drive sits in an external USB case should the need ever arise.
