My friend, that is a GOOD DEAL!!!
 I see this one as getting very hot, especially considering the price! Edit - Including the three working day delivery cost, it pushes the price up to a total of £29.55p but this is still pretty good, as smaller portable DVD writers are always more expensive. You might want to consider updating the deal thread to include that additional cost as well, to prevent any issues. Cheers, Scotty Boy!  Last edited by Scotty Boy : 04-11-2009 at 14:22.

£4.59 is the cheapest delivery so actual price is £29.55.. Still a good deal though, as I haven't seen many this cheap before now - cheapest ones that come close are full 5 & 1/4 external USB based drives. Cheers, Scotty Boy! |
