The retail pack includes an extra silver bezel and SATA cable. Cyberlink's PowerDVD playback software is also bundled to play Blu-ray HD video. The drive will be available in December.

Newegg has a "Pioneer Black 12X DVD+R 6X DVD+RW 4X DVD+R DL 12X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 5X DVD-RAM 12X DVD-ROM 24X CD-R 24X CD-RW 32X CD-ROM 4MB Cache SATA Blu-Ray Reader and 12X DVD±R DVD Burner" in-stock for USD $239.99 and they don't seem to be a hot item. Personally I wouldn't buy one if they were USD $99. I might consider it at USD $59, maybe $79 but that would be pushing it.
If it was a Blu-ray burner I might consider one at USD $179. Until this time I will do like most others and wait.
just wait for a few more months and we will see the writer come out and that will hopefully drop in prices.
