ALMOST HERE . . . . .

are they in stock or not?

Videoguys will be one of the first resellers in America to get stock of this exciting new drive. We have already placed our order with Pioneer and we hope to have BDR-205 units in stock mid October. We will be launching all new Blu-ray bundles featuring the BDR-205 when they ship.

Peace,
dave

Sorry. It was a rhetorical question. I was NOT expecting you to know the answer.

$16 shipping, YIKES!

Lol, that was a joke, right?

$16 shipping is very reasonable, and hell, $229 is a steal for these... I paid $300 for my 8x, and last time I had a drive shipped anywhere it ended up costing $30 for shipping. This is an absolute steal if it turns out to be legit.

I was serious. $16 for shipping is a lot IMO. For me (outside of California), I'd wait for newegg, they usually give free shipping deals.

So you'd rather pay $300+tax with free shipping instead of $229+$16? Oh-kayyy...

I once shipped a tiny box of chocolates to Scotland and it cost $56 for shipping. This burner is at least five times bigger and heavier, $16 is a very fair deal.

it's $300 on newegg? I've never seen them get beat by that much. I was thinking like $230-240 shipped no tax, but we'll just have to wait and see.

The units are starting to hit the loading docks in the US, but the software is a "week or so" behind.

Peace,
dave

**EDIT** "Official" release date is now 10/21/09 The MSRP is $299.99 --- $246 shipped ain't too bad.

I was told by someone, that someone on the forum is taking orders for 12x BR Writers.. But i guess that was a mistake?

Not that i want to be the first to jump the train. I do however want to see what happens.. :angel:

The first one is on the truck. I couldn't talk him out of two before the release date. I want to see what's in there before we all go crazy next Wednesday.

Maybe next week -- one for me and one for you? But let's look at one first.

Peace,
dave

Actually, i am not ready to jump on the train just yet!

I am saving up for the lenses... I want to get several for myself in the "Mini GB"..

Besides, i wouldn't know what to set a 12x diode to! Their low ratings scare me...
Maybe i'll have a slight idea after i test and kill some 8x diodes... :angel:
