Was interested, until I checked the MSY price list http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf.
MSY have a "Ritmo External Slim USB DVD RW" for $75.
Also, shipping of $13 to BrisVegas brings it up to $103.
Also, also, at 1.5kg this thing weighs way more than the Acer netbook I'd be using it with.
Sorry, but not a good deal IMHO.
