I hope it stays there til this weekend.
I went to a few places a month or so ago but couldn't find it...
Almost got it on eBay but the bid went over $20...not about to pay more than $25 for it on the internet.

Great price !  I think I'll pick up several copies to give as Christmas gifts.  I'd also like to have an extra, "loaner", copy.  As it is, I don't quit watching them long enough to loan them out.

On a computer-related note, if you are in need of a DVD burner newegg.com has the NEC ND-3550A on for $37.88 plus 0.99 shipping. DVD/CD RW, dual-layer capable.

Mine should be here tomorrow.

Speaking of DVD burners, guys, do not buy a Lite-On.
I have been having so much trouble with this thing...I got it so I could play Oblivion.
It reads DVDs fine, and burns CDs fine too...but playing soccer with the Devil is easier than getting it to burn a DVD--which I've only been able to manage once out of at least two dozen attempts.

I started to get one, but spent the extra couple bucks on the NEC when I read several reviews on the Lite-On that mirror your problems.

Good on you.  The main problem is that Lite-On says to get new firmware...yet they have none for the drive on the site.  If I could find one, I'd try another burning program.  I'm hoping that the copy of Nero that came with it was the problem.
Me, I was just looking for a DVD reader.  A friend recomended this one to me, and I trusted his judgement.  I igored the bad reviews because it got some good reviews after the firmware install (which I wasn't able to do...I did however get third party firmware, no change), and like I said, was more interested in its reading capabilities than it's burning capabilities.

Is there any freeware for CD/DVD burning that's worth a flip? I'm one of those people that buys a CD for one or two songs. I'm tired of disc-swapping so much - I want to make a bunch of compilation discs of my favorite tunes.
