Attention Power Mac G4/G5 and Mac Pro owners, MCE has introduced an internal Blu-ray burner for your rig. The drive is user-installable and along with Blu-ray is compatible with all DVD and CD recordable media. Speed specs include 2X read/write speed for Blu-ray, 8x read/write for DVD-R and 24x write/32x read for CD-R media. But wait, there's more. The drive is bundled with the new Toast Titanium 8 software with Blu-ray support. The price is listed as $699 but here's a tip. If you already have Toast Titanium 8, or just don't want it, you can opt out when you checkout and it subtracts $49 from your total. So that brings it down to $650 for just the drive.[via Engadget]
1. You shouldn't have shown me this... Now I'm so tempted to buy one for my Mac Pro.
$16.99 per BD-R (25gb disc) ain't bad for back up purposes.
