You can't, if you can then I also would like to know. We only have SH-D162's and SH-W162's, which won't work with the firmware. Different regions get slightly different models. Also, all US shops that did have those drives are out of stock.

Ebay is your only way, which will no longer becomes " a cheap alternative". Sorry, I have been looking myself.

It most likely won't work as the firmware that has been modified is built on the firmware for one model only. It would most likely ruin the drive...

They are still kinda easy to find here in europe though, if you care to look around a little... :D

http://www.hktoyz.com is fairly new and the only method of payment is paypal, but I see the site posted in many places online so it seems as though they are becoming fairly large.

hmm, you are right :confused:.

I don't know of any other place in the US that has that drive. Ebay is probably your best bet, but will still end up going for around $60.
