Hey,

Just watched the above vid, couldn't see a mention of it on here, but if so then my bad.

Essentially the host took the 'cheap' LG blu ray burner and found it worked just fine on a mac even thou it's official specs have it as pc only. The downside? No playback of blu ray movies, burning only for now.

Either way, at 1/3rd of the price of the Lacie, looks a pretty good external blu ray backup solution. I'm always a bit twitchy about hard drives tbh.

Frys had one on sale once for $200 but I missed it and they have carried the pioneer as well for a little more. Have to catch it on sale.
