Blu Ray and the Mac…

[Chris Babbitt] “Does the Fastmac have some kind of magic that justifies a $580 price tag for a 4x drive?”
Other than the fact that it works, nope.

There are other drives that work as well.
someone once got the name of the actual fastmac drive.
you can purchase it stand alone for less from another vendor.
I have a panasonic 4x in my pc that i paid 399 for.

Once again, why so expensive? The 8x Pioneer can be had for around $250.

Same reason. They’re taking advantage of Mac users who don’t know any better.
Find me one example of any Blu-ray drive ever made not working in a Mac. You won’t. They all work. Just like all SATA hard drives work. Just like all USB keyboards work and all LCD monitors work.

indeed.
Apple wanted over $ 2,000 for a 4GB memory upgrade kit
for a G5 dual at one time and I got the same memory at another place
for $ 250.
