For those that haven't noticed, the Pioneer DVR-111D has made its way to the US. Everyone's favorite retailer, Newegg, finally has it in stock for about $38 plus shipping.

I wouldn't bother waiting for a retail version. According to Pioneer's PR person, they aren't planning on releasing a retail version over here. Then again, if its not in a press release, they usually don't know what's up.
