While Sony is working feverishly to secure every Blu-ray drive it can for the PlayStation 3, sources report talks with Apple have the computer maker scheduled to receive the first Blu-ray drives for Macs in February.

Details beyond that timetable are vague at this point, including whether systems will be announced with the new drive that month, pre-announced in January for a later release, or simply be added to manufacturing for an announcement later in the first quarter. Also unknown is whether the new drive will rely on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard for out-of-the box support, or whether an update adding support for the drive will be released for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
Sony currently offers VAIO laptops with Blu-ray for $3,000-$3,500 and VAIO desktops with Blu-ray for $2,250. Blu-ray drives for desktop computers typically sell on their own for $650-$850.
