“Blu-ray is a bag of hurt."
"The licensing is so complex, we're waiting until things settle down before we burden our customers with the cost of the licensing and the cost of the drives."
This is perhaps not surprising. The Blu-ray licencing requirements for an OS are said to be draconian, and I'm sure Apple doesn't want to mess too much with the underpinnings of OS X just to support a costly format that is still languishing in the market.
What makes this criticism especially biting is the fact that Apple sits on the Blu-ray Disc Association's Board of Directors.
