    Hi there,
    I want to buy a Pioneer Bluray 205BK for my Mac Pro so that I can author DVDs, but am a little confused as to why there seem to be Mac and PC version of the drive with the Mac versions being more expensive. Does anyone know what the differences are? The thing is.. Pioneer’s website only has one model.
    The mac version seems to be sold by mac resellers which leads me to think that they are selling the so called pc version with cables needed to connect it to macs. The Mac compatible drives do not come with anything extra except for Internal SATA kit, cables and installation guide. Is it still possible to get the PC version and buy the cables separately or are the drives physically different? If it is just additional cables that are required, would anyone know what cables I would need to get? Thanks in advance.

    Get it from Other World Computing or Videoguys. Get the external version (BD drive with enclosure).
