I think that the chances the new MBPs with come with blu ray is slim. Apple SHOULD be ilcnuding blu ray drives with their computers and they COULD (with some exception) but I think they won't; and sadly the reason not technological, it's business. There are some articles out there about Apple's deals with NBC and media corporation's fears of blu ray piracy. I think it's more likely that the MBPs with come with the quad core processor that is currently replacing the intel core 2 duo in laptops
