    The Sony model TT just arrived 2 days ago in Indonesia.
    I plan to get one~

    However, they don't have an option where you can choose
    bluray for optical drive.

    Not so important at the moment but I would like to ask;
    Is it possible that later on when I purchase the bluray drive,
    I can swap it?

    (Putting aside the warranty issue of course)

    Just want to know if it CAN be done~
    I spoke to the Sony customer service and to be honest,
    they didn't really give me a direct answer -_-. All i want
    is a no or yes really :(

    This is definitely possible, but it will really depend on whether Sony will sell the BluRay drive option by itself. If you get a standard CD/DVD burner, you MIGHT be able to buy a standard notebook BluRay burner later and just swap out the bezel and mounting mechanizm to install the new drive. It`s a big maybe though. Anyway, you have really no choice.
