And strangely enough, DVD/CD writers seem to be almos as cheap as DVD/CD combo drives (the old combined DVD reader + CD Writer drives).
The NEC ND3500 is less than €70 on komplett, which is practically giving them away. A combo drives is about €50, why would anyone buy that when you get a DVD writer for €20 more?
