It would help to say where in Ireland they're going for 9.99. I would pick one up just to use as an external DVD drive. I need to install Ubuntu onto my Eee PC and this would by ideal.

Lol at the picture, I guess "Dollar Tree" beat "Big Lots" to it, Man is Nfinity gonna have a heart attack if he sees this article.

That is a pretty funny picture. Great illustration considering how fast the price fell on this thing, which is surprising given that even if you don't use it to watch HD-DVDs on a 360, it's still a good optical drive and I've heard some people use it to watch regular DVDs through their system just to reduce wear on their master drive. Not a bad idea really, especially if you can get it so cheap.
