some may find this helpful, if it really works. Its the coupon code to get it for $250 or something. Claims to be shipped by Oct. 4. For those that do, come back and review it. Direct from the forums:

I actually had an additional $25 off $250 coupon...brought it down to $228.06, shipped! WOOT!

Got one coming too, Thanks for the tip!

Same here. Saw this deal and got it 10-15 minutes before it expired. Wish I would have had the additonal $25 coupon but $253.06 is still a good deal. I just hope it works as promised. I was going to wait for some real reviews but this was $60 less than the cheapest price I had seen and is also about the same as what I could get a Pioneer DVR-104 for. The only thing that I see lacking so far is no "Buffer Under Run" Protection via Zero.link as with the new Pioneer DVR-105 coming up the last week of October. I suspect it's price will be significantly higher for a while though.

Valid to Oct9

http://www.dell.com/us/en/bsd/default.htm?DGVCode=BF
Code: B9549BF60B01 for extra 10% off.

For Small business, that will bring it down to $253.49

Free shipping.

As my Philips is only 1week old and I have all the boxes
maybe I should return it? (paid $238 after mail-in rebate)

Unfortunately, under Small Biz, you must pay taxes...in Home, only a couple of states have to pay taxes.

Has anyone got any emails about their DRU500A being shipped already? I ordered mine on the 1st of Oct and my scheduled shipping date is the 7th. Crossing fingers to see if it is actually going to be shipped on time.

Mine also has been delayed...it's not out yet, I think.

great deal!

Despite website stating 15% off, the drive showed up 10% off in cart. Called Dell, got the 15% and free shipping over the phone for a price of $268.56.

[Thwiipp]

I had ordered it on the 1st as well with an orginal expected shipping date of the 4th, on the 4th i received an email saying that they cannot ship it as they do not had it n stock yet and expect to shipe d on the 11th which is this friday, i also heard that CompUSA is getting their stock in on the 11th as well(says so on their site) so i hope its true and my burner ships on friday.

[Tbear]

I just got email today saying I need to confirm my order as it will not be shipped untill the 23rd October 2002.

I think that it is sitting in a container on a ship in some harbour on the west coast. Which will take about 4 to 10 weeks to get caught up.

[jman908]

Got one comin'. They're out as of Friday, but stupid Dell is saying they'll ship "on or before" [better be before! <roars>] the 28th. If you check the order status it says it's being manufactured. Better get mine soon.
