Heh.. maybe $50 Canadian. That would be like what? $10 US?

Two SL discs cost a couple of bucks (or less if purchased in quantity), and will be my alternative until prices come down.
I will use my 1600A (when it comes out and I get it of course) with SL media until DL media becomes affordable.

That's what everyone thought... until Nic received an 832 with news from LiteOn that it had a different chipset.
Nic then pulled apart the drive and checked the chipset numerics (see above) to confirm that it is indeed a different Mediatek chip.

I thought that the NEC DL was going to be named 2510A?

VEFF was refering to the BenQ drive (he just got a DW822A-OC2)
