The Blu-ray technology finally made it to Mac courtesy of MCE’s new Blu-ray Internal Drive for Apple Mac Pro and PowerMac, simply called the SuperDrive. This MCE Super Drive features 6X Blu-ray write-speeds and 16X DVD recording speed. It plays both Blu-ray and HD-DVD media and fully supports Lightscribe. It can record to 25GB single-layer and 50GB dual-layer discs.
In addition, the MCE SuperDrive is also compatible with all variants of both DVD and CD recordable media, includes DVD±R/RW + Dual/Double Layer, DVD-RAM, and CD-R and CD-RW. This SuperDrive will come packed with Toast 8 Titatinium and a 25GB Blu-ray rewritable disc. All this for an SRP of $699. This BU burner runs with Windows XP/Vista on a Boot Camp partition and requires Mac units running OS X 10.4 or higher.

Sounds like a nice piece of kit….wouldn't it be nice if Apple released a free update to it's current Compressor and DVD Studio Pro builds to include support for BlueRay authoring and not just the pretty-much-dead format that is HD DVD…
The day that happens is the day I'll buy one of these super drives for my Mac Pro.
