Does anyone know where to get one of these in the uk/ireland/eu? what kinda prices are they this side of the atlantic???
How hard/easy are these to install.... ive installed drives in towers but aint opened a laptop up... anything i should know??
Will this play dvds in apples built in player?
oh and can i just download iDVD from apple/downloads and use it with the burner (as it aint built into my sys)
Thanks

Oh, if i was in the states over the summer or just bought one from a us site would it work in my PB? it wouldnt like blow up because of the power difference?? :) ... hee hee,,... image in my head now of my DVD burner 'burning' my PB ... no wait that aint funny! :eek:
 
You will need help (either good printed directions, or a live tech) when replacing an optical drive in the PB G4. Not too bad a job, but easy to get into trouble!
iDVD is not a free download, only comes with iLife software, or with a system that shipped with a SuperDrive.
the SuperDrive will certainly play DVDs using Apple's DVD Player.
