Don't know, but doesn't look like anytime soon, since it's not listed yet. [Newegg may get some retail drives independently.]

They just arrived, so it's up to retailers to notice availability and set a price. The distributor would be more than happy to get rid of all of them tomorrow. 10,080 is a lot of drives.

55 $ is about 48 €. Roughly the same price like in Germany. Taxes included.

BenQ lists the color name as COOLGREY, but it is close to the official beige color.

$55 is way, way overpriced, especially with additional shipping cost. Given the $38 distributor price and abundant supply, most online prices should settle in the $38-42 range very soon.

That would be only 35€ here. No chance to get an up-to-date drive for that money.
These are online prices in Germany (including taxes, shipping not included):
http://www.geizhals.at/deutschland/?fs=Benq+DW+1650
1 € is about 1,15-1,20 US$

If you didn't order soon after this post you'll have to
pay 6 bucks more. They just raised the price to $42.34
plus shipping.

I got distracted when I saw something shiny and forgot to order, lol...

I'll probably just wait for newegg to get it as well. Should be any day now, I think...

The 1650 is available at Meritline for $36.00 + shipping

It was like $45 with ground shipping. I have used meritline for media so they are reliable ...

FWIW, you can add newegg searches to your RSS reader -- just added a search for "BENQ DVD" to mine -- to get quick notification of new items.
