    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.
