Unless you really need a retail drive today, that's not that great of a price... (even if you DO need a retail drive.. you can often get non-rebranded Pioneers or LGs much cheaper)
I just get nervous buying drives obviously rebadged from another OEM, since who knows what kind of support you'll get in the future. If you have to use hacked firmware to update your drive or something, it negates the warranty, which kind of goes against the point of using a retail drive...
