Blu-ray comes to Macs without the help of Apple



While everyone's been waiting for Apple to get around to adding Blu-ray players to their computers, MCE Technologies went ahead and did it themselves. Now you can add a Blu-ray burner to your already-expensive Mac Pro for another $700. Oh snap, Apple!

Yes! Now you can finally take half your workday to backup some data rather than just get a backup HD! You can now watch a limited and mediocre selection of movies in HD right on your computer, while you comfortably sit in your office chair! You can… you can… oh, you know, whatever. So it's expensive and the benefits aren't all that great. What do you want from me? If you really want Blu-ray why don't you save $99 and go buy yourself one of the PS3s that are collecting dust on store shelves everywhere.
