I am looking all over the universe for a Dual-Layer Blu-Ray external burner. NO ONE HAS IT!

I went to best Buy and they just looked at me...the clerk was said "Dude, those are like $700 bucks" I stared back and said to him "Yep, can I pay in cash" he just stared at me like I was the weird one lol.

Any suggestions. Mac Mall and a couple other spots seem to only have the internal. I have a Power Mac G5 so that means I only have 1 drive slot so external is pretty much my only option.

Thanks

I think those internal Blu-Ray burners also burn red-laser media as well, but....

they also require a SATA connection, which the G5 does not have going to the DVD/CD burner space inside the case.

You could probably find an external case that would house it for not much money.

I stand corrected; Of course I didn't do much research, I pretty much narrowed my scope to Sony drives.

Thanks for that link Droo.

Once you get a burner, be prepared to shell out $45 per disk!
