      Has anyone actually received one of these yet?

    Is it black or Gold???
    "Sleek black design looks great and takes up minimal space on your desk or computer bag."

    • Pizza The Hut on 13/07/2010 - 12:28

      Or silver like in the pics. Jennica/Minnie can answer?

      • minniewu on 13/07/2010 - 12:45

        The Color in Cold.

        • Pizza The Hut on 13/07/2010 - 12:54

          Minnie, do you know what kind of connection it has INSIDE the case?

          • minniewu on 13/07/2010 - 13:00

            @Pizza The Hut: This model is using USB connect with your computer. It is the answer you want?

            • Pizza The Hut on 13/07/2010 - 13:02

              @minniewu: inside the case I mean. Like if I cracked it open to stick inside my computer, what sort of connection will I find?

    • ESEMCE on 13/07/2010 - 12:30

      I think it's more likely to be Gold and the reference to Black is just a sloppy copy/paste error.
      There are Gold and a Black models available if you search the model number.

  • bartracer on 13/07/2010 - 12:27

    got one thanks

    i like the gold one

  • codhopper on 13/07/2010 - 12:27

    Handy to have a USB DVD burner around.
    The extra shipping brings it to about the same price as other external dvd burners http://staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=external+dvd+bu… . $5-10 less maybe.

    Plus I'm still waiting on a hard drive deal these guys had at the start of July. (They claim it was 1 per paypal user, but have stated that it wasn't written down in the terms and conditions)

    Not a negative, just not really a bargain when you include postage.

  • b00gie on 13/07/2010 - 12:29

    is this USB powered? or adapter powered?

    • Mainsail on 13/07/2010 - 12:33

      USB

      • Smigit on 13/07/2010 - 12:35

        Looking at reviews it uses a power brick.

        • King Tightarse on 13/07/2010 - 12:41

          That kinda kills the usefulness.
          Think I'll just stick to the one I've got.
          Still/good price

          • Smigit on 13/07/2010 - 12:44

            @King Tightarse: yeah I agree somewhat. I'm half tempted since I have one PC without an optical drive but I think USB sticks do the job fine 98% of the time anyway.

            • King Tightarse on 13/07/2010 - 12:48
              +1

              @Smigit: Optical drives are pretty over anyway.
              So long as you have one access to one reliable burner around the house most stuff has gone beyond the need now.
              Still burn the occasional DVD fr my mum though.
              So 2009…

      • Mainsail on 13/07/2010 - 12:57

        USB + Powerbrick as Smidgit has found.

    can't buy more than 1 with paypal?

      of cause you can.

      • canleyheights on 13/07/2010 - 12:59

        in the quantity, I type 2, and it pop up a box saying "Sorry, we only allow 1 item(s) per paypal account."

        • minniewu on 13/07/2010 - 13:01

    is this power by usb only or do i need to use a power pack?

  • Cobalt_ on 13/07/2010 - 13:28

    Was about to buy this for my netbook until I saw that this model cannot run entirely off USB power. A bit disappointing that this model requires a power brick

    • samfisher5986 on 13/07/2010 - 13:51

      same here, I was going to get one for my laptop but the power pack would just get annoying.

  • Rod71 on 13/07/2010 - 13:53

    Nice little burner. Although pretty slow. Still a good deal though.

  • Jabba the Hutt on 13/07/2010 - 14:04

    Fiddlesticks! This deal comes just a few days too late for me - went looking for a cheap external slim DVD drive on the weekend and got a $59 Samsung.

    EDIT: Drats! Just been looking into the power issue and seems confirmed the Sony requires the AC adaptor. My Samsung reads/writes fine plugged into one USB port on my ASUS and MSI netbooks (though the supplied cable is a Y adaptor just in case).

    • King Tightarse on 13/07/2010 - 14:58

      Pretty sure this Sony is made by Samsung.

      Actual burner inside the "nice" Sony case = Samsung
      It's all in the marketing these days…

I would have sent you a private message here but it said your profile didn't allow it. I am worried my emails to the above address are going into spam. Can you send me an email (from the 'contact' page on my profile) so I can find out where my order is up to please? thank you.

            @Besean: That is because we have problem with our invoice system before, we are fixing now and try to email out all the customer who have not receive their invoice today.

            And our customer service are trying to reply all of our customer email now. Don't worry I will follow up for your guys who have not receive the invoice.

            Will try to send all out today.

        hi miss Wu, could you please cancel my order? my purchase id is PE28991354. I did not know it cannot be powered by USB. So it is not portable at all. Thanks

        • minniewu on 13/07/2010 - 18:29

          I can not help you with this action, because I'm just in charge in PR and Marketing. But I can ask our customer service to help you with that.

          Sorry about that.

  • You and Me on 13/07/2010 - 19:12

    When I was looking into these I was very disappointed to find that the Sony lines did not support USB-power — it seemed almost deceptive to use "portable" when the drive is only portable within the home (so is my fridge).

    A few months ago, I randomly encountered some references on a forum about using a certain PSP cable to power it via the USB port.

    I think this was the link:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B000IX2FRU/ref=dp_to…

    There are some similar looking devices in the What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing This Item? section, too.

    I can't find the reference, so I'm not 100% sure, this link was in my browser history, anyway check it out if you like.

    • [Deactivated] on 13/07/2010 - 19:54

      It might work using a Y cable… Could try a USB to Power Jack lead…

      I just need a small one power point is ok but annoying.

  • AntMan76 on 13/07/2010 - 21:31

    I am still trying to work out why anyone would want one with a power brick. Completely defeats the purpose of it being portable, unless I am missing something.

  • talismansa on 13/07/2010 - 21:35

    minniewu my friend paid for the i5 750 sale two weeks ago, and he hasn't recieved anything after an email saying "your order is being processed". Paypal has charged him for the purchase.

    He said he has sent Prices Engine 5 emails and got no response.
    What's happening?

    • minniewu on 13/07/2010 - 22:44

      There was lot of customer email us about this before. Our system has mail out an email to tell our customer that you have to verify your paypal account in order to process your order with PricesEngine, otherwise we can not ship out your item.

      Most of customer are not reading our system email and just waiting for the package coming.

      Can you check your PayPal account for me please? Maybe your are still not verify your paypal account with PayPal.

      If you PayPal account it's been verfiried by PayPal, I think you will be receive your item Soon.

      You can let me know by send the email to [email protected] and CC to [email protected].

      Thanks for your help and understanding.

  • skinny on 13/07/2010 - 21:47

    Reading the review, it looks like it is a portable dvd drive until you want to use it as well :(

    Does anyone know if there a portable dvd drive in the market that do not require a power adaptor?

    The Gameware USB link & charger cable for the PSP removes the need for the external power adapter.

    Hi, I have received this email:

    As we stated in the Terms & Conditions:

    "3. Orders:
    • Products displayed on the website do not constitute an offer to sell. It is an invitation to treat only.
    • Orders placed by customers are offers to purchase particular product under the terms and conditions in this agreement at the price specified (including delivery and other charges).
    • Pricesengine reserves the right to accept or reject your order for any reason including, but not limited to the unavailability of any product, an error in the price or product description, an error in your order or a payer status in your PayPal account is marked as unverified. For your PayPal status is unverified, we will wait three days for your PayPal account verification done since you place the order. After three days, pricesengine has the right to cancel the order if your Paypal status is still unverified. In the event that we cancel your order, we will provide a full refund of any payment received.
    • Pricesengine DO NOT accepts any return or refund once the order has been confirmed."

    We don't accept cancellation of order.

    I have canceled the order 1 hr after placing it. So beware they do not allow refunds even if the item is not sent yet.

    • Horizon on 15/07/2010 - 23:38

      Ignorance of PayPal's, or Credit Card Service Provider's T&Cs is no excuse for the guy running Prices Engine.

      If he accepts Paypal & hence Credit Cards, he contractually accepts their T&Cs.

      And I think you'll find they really don't care less if he says he does or doesn't accept cancellation of orders, they do, and will simply do a chargeback in your favour. Been there, done that.
