OK, I checked, it does use standard USB ports ;-)
And you can use it on a PC or Mac: http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2006/11/8303/
Actually, the Mac does not even need drivers, it “just works” although there’s no software for palying HD-DVD discs on the Mac so you are stuck with standard DVDs.

I’m not sure whether that device can be used with anything else than a 360… I’m not even sure that the 360 uses standard USB ports actually.

At $50 it is a pretty decent DVD read-only drive that is powered by the USB port. It could be used with any old mac to add a USB 2.0 DVD-reader (regular movies and/or OS/software DVDs).

Maybe you can find cheaper ext. read-only DVD drive solutions, but $50 is pretty close…
