Can Mac Mini play Blue Ray DVD's

Hi am looking to purchase a new TV and set up a Mac Mini with it but would like to know if it will support a Blue Ray DVD. I don't have either yet but will shortly. I just don't want to buy a Blue Ray player if it's not necessary.

Does anyone know the answer to this?

Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

The internal Optical drive that comes with the Mini is only a DVD player.

It will not play Blu-Ray discs...

There is also no Mac OS X software at this time that can play a Blu-Ray disk. The only way anyone has gotten Blu-Ray disks to play on a Mac is to use an external Blu-Ray disk drive and boot their Mac under Windows, for which at least one Blu-Ray player application exists.
