Pioneer.com no longer has the 215 (black or beige). I had ordered a black one on the 24th, and I just received a call today telling me they were out of stock/no longer in production. They asked me if I wanted a 216, and then they asked me why I wanted the older model, and that a number of other people had requested the older model as well. I just canceled my order because I wasn’t sure how good the 216 is compared to the 215. Now I have a new system build with a 8 year old DVD drive (no burning capabilities). Need to research other drives
