One of my burners died last weekend so I picked this up today. I must say, I'm somewhat impressed. It is a rebadged cyberdrive DX162D. I already own a DX082D which is a very good drive for ripping. I burned a few DVD-Rs and DVD+rs and all burns and verifies were good. The only gripe I have is that this drive, like many others, will not burn overspeed (I hope I said that right). What I mean by this is that on my DX082D, even though the disc may have write strategies for 2x, 4x, and 8x, I can burn the disc at 6x. With the DX162D, it will only burn at 4x or 8x (not in between). You may not see this as a biggie, but it is a nice compromise of burn time vs burn quality on 4x media.

When you pick up the drive instore, you may want to look at the bottom of the box for Manufacture dates of November or December 2004. These are most likely firmware 130F. I've seen bad reviews on earlier firmware revisions.

Anyway, thanks OP for the post.

They are flying off the shelves,

I went back to BB and they were all gone

fortunately I got one yesterday myself and then posted the deal

as they say in French,

Charite bien ordonee commence par soi meme

"charity well ordained begins by oneself"

Well, just checking to see if it was back in stock, and I see that they bumped the online price up to $50 AR, just like the in strore price :|

I was able to get a hold of the last one from the thousand oaks BB. Even though it was 50 AR, I was able to get a little help with the 10% and it drove down to near online pre-changed price

I have been using mine for a couple of days now. I am having some issue writing with Win2K. It just stop in the middle of the disk. I have it in external enclosure. My next step is to install it internally. If that still gives me problem, then I will return the drive. I had good burns for the first few disks.
