Slim USB CD/DVD/Blu-ray Player For $99
OhGizmo! —
... quite a few reasonably priced options out there, but this drive from FastMac manages to stuff CD-R/W, DVD±R/W DL, and a Blu-ray reader into one small USB drive for under $100. For $299, you can add a 1x Blu-ray burner, and $399 bumps that up to 4x.
Considering that an external slim USB DVD burner will probably cost you at least $60 or $70, the extra 20 bucks isn’t much at all to throw the additional option of Blu-ray into the mix.

Gadgetreview —
Fastmac has joined the ranks of those producing external Blu-ray drives for Apple computers. The 3 models (APP-6907, APP-6963 and APP-6964) are available now and offer DVD±, 1x BD-R and 4x BD-R respectively. Pricing starts at $99 and tops out at $399, but since you can’t watch Blu-rays on a Mac why would you buy one of these? Would you use it in conjunction with your home theater setup?
