The cheapest will cost you around £499, if you're willing to pay that much.

If you ask me. you should be paying that kind of money for a new PC. If you have to pay that kind of money for just the drive then it's not worth it if you ask me.

£499 (GBP) = US$1,000, too bad for you in the UK, in the US we can find many below US$500.

There is also a BDC-S version (actually 2), but I don't know the real difference yet. Maybe bulk vs. retail, because they all have DVD-RAM write support according to the info.

The BDC-202 starts at €210 here in Germany.

I dont know if CompUSA will ship internationally but they are a trust worthy retailer. If they do ship outside of the US, then you shouldn't worry
