Hi. In Spain, the Creative DVD alone is around $400 street price with taxes. DVD=Digital Video (or is it Versatile?) Disk. The substitute for video tapes. Long delay to market. Perhaps with not definite specs. No titles. 5 GB, I think; 17 GB in the future. Protection needed to avoid perfect film copying. Make sure that the mpeg card for DVD is included in the bundle. > > Greetings, > > I am buying my parents a gift of an upgrade/new CD rom and sound card.
