You forgot to mention the price: 28,800 - 29,800 Yen (232 - 240 U$) for the writer, 598 Yen (5 U$) for the CD-RW and 298 Yen (2.4 U$) for the CD-R media. Remember, these prices are in Japan, expect to pay alot more when it arrives here.

I just checked prices in Japan and the difference isn’t that much. A Plex 16x costs about 26.000 Yen at Http: //www.twotop.co.jp/ the same store those guys bought their Sony DD-RW. So expect to pay around 310 U$ for the Sony when it arrives here.
