As much as I hate to point people toward this store, I thought that some of you may be interested.
I saw the ad in the paper today, and it said that it was just four the four day weekend.
I didnt pay too much attention, but like I said, maybe someone will be interested

Problem is the PC World price is for the Philips writer which does not support DVD-R but supports DVD+R - the media price of which is about 5 times that of DVD-R. They don`t work on as many machines as DVD-R either http://www.anandtech.com/guides/viewfaq.html?i=118

Not sure about PS2 compatability.
