My Superdrive has just packed in. Can I upgrade to a Blu-ray drive to write Bru-ray discs for storage and movie playback?

I don't think it will make a bit of difference. The issue is that PPC computers are now so old few developers are left to write programs for them.
Maybe, and this is a BIG maybe, there is a linux developer still writing for PPC - I know yellowdog linux is for Power architecture, but as far as it working on Mac hardware let alone having blu-ray drive playback capacity.. it's any's guess.
