The price also includes free FedEx shipping and you don't even have to deal with a rebate, which makes this offer even better. :D Crucial RAM is made by Micron, which is one of the top memory manufacturers in the world.

I just saw Sony DRU-500AX listed right below DRU-500A and right above DRX-500UL. Both, DRU-500A and DRU-500AX are listed for $349.99. DRX-500UL for 429.99. Same price at local BestBuy store too, just in case anyone is wondering.

What is the possibility that it is a Lite-On? Is there any other way to tell?

Thanks,
