Ok, I found the following on Scan.co.uk's "ONE DAY ONLY" offer page. This means that by the time you read this, the offer will no longer be valid. HOWEVER, Scan do have a contact link to request items for the "ONE DAY ONLY" page, so if enough people request it, there is no reason why Scan won't repeat it!!:

This is great news - looks like DVD authoring may well be with in reach of the rest of us before too long (still too expensive for me at the present time though!) :)

Apparently the included software is NOT as good as the Uk version, but then this won't generally be a problem for resourceful surfers.

Regarding the hardware itself, I do not know of any differences whatsoever - my original postings were verbatim cut-and-pastes, and do not represent my beliefs on the differences.

That USA deal looks pretty sweet to me, but don't forget that customs and VAT will invariably bring the prive up to approximately 1 Dollar = 1 Pound
