www.pricewatch.com -- before you buy anything from an online store attempt to locate them in resellerratings.com for previous customer experiences.

Matt, thanks for the tip. Boy there are substantial savings on that site compared to what we have been paying. However there were no DVD burners listed. Under DVD drives all they seemed to have were readers. But there may be some other category that I am unaware of. But other items I have been interested in were substantially under what I have been accpting as the fair price.

Thanks again.........

hey i found a site that sells the dru500a for 313.53. its at pcnation.com. free shipping too! they had it at that price before then all of a sudden they jacked up the price to 345.53. i wrote them a letter and i guess it worked or something. if anyone can find a better price tell me cuz im ordering it tomorrow.

Dell was the place to buy 'em before. I got mine shipped for $247. Doing a search on prices for "DRU500a" is probably your best bet now.

dollars off at

I was lucky in that 3 of the stores in my area 1 had 1 drive left . The drive is selling for 349.99 +tax wich is currently seems to be a good price as I have looking everywhere on the net for this drive and most places don't even have any stocked. Also if you look at the coupon there are a lot of other retail places you can buy the drive. Well time to go flash my firmware and do so testing of this drive. With all the paper launches of drives today this my get sent back which is a good reason to buy local if you can......................TechMan p.s. I edited this link as it was not working hope this one is better if not just try a search for dru500a rebate
