The ability to play Blu-ray movies in OS X has been a bit of a sore spot for Mac users. When Blu-ray was being developed, Apple's presence as a supporter of the technology spurred much speculation and rumor that Mac users would be seeing native Blu-ray support in OS X. Unfortunately, to this date this has not happened, and Apple has progressively shied away from Blu-ray in support of alternative options like the iTunes store.
While Apple has claimed that the complex licensing for Blu-ray playback has been partly to blame for the lack of Blu-ray support, oddly the ability to create and burn Blu-ray movies has been readily available with tools like Final Cut Pro and Toast Titanium. It is more likely that Apple's reluctance to support Blu-ray revolves around its competition with Apple's preferred streaming media solutions.
