@MichaelScrip: "Oh come on! People have been complaining that Blu-Ray players are too expensive... now they demand Blu-Ray burners now?"
Yeah, filmmakers need them and use them. A Blu-ray burner lets you make one-off BDs (and regular DVDs) for prototyping/proofing or just plain ol' gift giving.
Blu-ray burners do exist for Macs/PCs, they're just currently priced around $400-600. That's why I was SO excited about what at first sounded like a an internal BD burner...but, alas, is only a player. Great news for those folks who have a computer hooked up to a TV-ish display and want to, as you say, "get their feet wet with Blu-ray" movies, just not so helpful for content creators (or data backup).

Still maybe a good deal for many folks, just not what I am looking for.

Greedy...
This would be a great way to get your feet wet with Blu-Ray. I'd still wait for set-top Blu-Ray players to drop in price.
