My Plextor is down to either $74 or $90 (I can't remember the exact model that mine is right now.) I think it was $150 when they got it for me. It's quite the nice drive, but I wouldn't mind picking up the dual layer version.
Yeah - I see little reason to spend anythign like that on a bruner when you can get one of these bad boys for under $40. Plextor-shmextor. I still haven't forgiven them for abandoning SCSI.
