Hong Kong-based AMEX Digital has recently announced a Mac mini Blue-ray Drive Upgrade Kit for adding Blu-ray to Apple’s newest Mac mini (obviously). Capable of 4x BD read speeds and up to 8x speed DVD burning, the slot-loading drive comes with a SATA interface, the Blu-ray upgrade kit should work with Roxio’s Toast 9, Adobe’s Premiere Pro CS3 or VLC player for handling BD and DVD movies on a Mac (which is recommended since you can’t play BD movies on a MAc just yet). The BD upgrade kit is available in the US for $199.
