you know i got real exited when ThADOoD said $200-$300 for a dvd burner and then i realised that if i converted that to the good ol aussie dollar i will have to pay $600 and over for one, that brought me down to reality. i have got a p/s 2 with raptor chip which is useless to me without a dvd burner so backing up for me is a dream at the moment
