Not out of the box no. Apple don't yet ship blu-ray drives in any machine. He possibly has a USB drive, not sure though if there is any playback software though.
Hey, I would imagine he most likely has a blu-ray drive that he bought. Or perhaps he uncovered some way to read a blu-ray but I don't know if that is possible. Ask him how he is doing it. If he figured out a way I'd like to know about it. hahahaha Aloha, Tara
