Might be better to wait a few months. They will drop in price as did DVD burners.

I came to the same conclusion..I have no urgent need for one at the moment.

Based on costs of MEDIA and actual burn times -- even if you get the burner for free -- hard drives are a very attractive option...

Check out http://www.accountwizard.com/clients/shop....30&subclass=234 (http://www.accountwizard.com/clients/shop.asp?Web=greytech&AW_SessionID=AWEngine2008000000428451277772777k77e277DId7k77d277DSite2e32j832k&page=class&class=230&subclass=234)
as it's $300 cheaper than the panasonic Bernard linked to. That's www.greytech.com

I didn't spend a lot of time searching the site but the drives that I looked at were all Win/tel based.  Good prices though..
