Blu-ray drive for Mac Pro
MCE Technologies today announced that it is shipping a user-insertable internal Blu-ray recordable drive capable of recording up to 50GB of data onto a dual-layer Blu-ray disc for Apple's Mac Pro and Power Mac G5 systems. The MCE Internal Blu-ray Recordable Drive is pre-configured for the Mac Pro and Power Mac G5, and includes Roxio Toast 8 Titanium software. Utilizing a blue-violet laser for reading and writing Blu-ray write-once and re-writable 25GB and 50GB single and dual-layer discs, the MCE Internal Blu-ray drive also records to all other standard DVD and CD recordable media. The drive for Mac Pro and Power Mac G5 with Toast 8 Titanium is already shipping for $700.

$50 a disc
Insane, Id rather carry data around in a portable 750 Gig FW drive than carry 15 disc's at $50 a pop. When they get to $7.50 a pop perhaps then but not till. Remember how expensive Verbatim DL DVD's were. They can be had at under $2 now. Theres always a steep price for new technology...oh wait it's not new, just an evolution of red laser DVD.
