Re: Dvd Burner For $17 (wtf)

It doesn't give ANY details. Sounds fishy.

EDIT: I e-mailed them a message for more info, and if it's really a DVD burner for $17. If so, I'm buying some.

Re: Dvd Burner For $17 (wtf)

Actually I think they may have made a mistake. It says regular retail 20.00 and on sale 17.00 maybe they meant on sale 170.00 ???
