So, you wanted your latest home movie masterpiece of grandma getting down at your cousin's wedding to be in HD. Well, if your a MacPro or powermac user, MCE TEchnologies is there for you. They have announced, for immediate release, the Blue-ray SuperDrive.

This handy drive isn't just for embarrassing family in high definition, but it could also be used to back up 25GB or 50GB (dual-layer) of data from your machine. You could also make real movies that actually do matter, or in my case, I could archive my iTunes, iPhoto, and iMovie media libraries on one disk - handy. The unit fits into any open slot on your available MacPro or PowerMac.

The Blu-ray SuperDrive is available right now from MCE Technologies, and will set you back $499. It also comes with one Blue-ray disk. Or, if you look at it the other way, the SuperDrive is free with the purchase of a $499 Blue-ray writable CD.
