Monday, 15 October 2001 : "DVD burning cheaper"

The DVR-A03 is the retail version of the same optical drive Apple bills as its Power Mac G4 "SuperDrive:" a mechanism that can record DVD-R and other optical media. The drive is now available for US$649. When the drive was introduced this past may, it carried with it a suggested retail price of $995. The cost of DVD-RW media has also dropped -- discs are now available for $15.99 each.
