The superdrive in my MBP is going blind. I've had troubles with certain brands of CDR and DVDR for a while. But I've just bought a new album which is on a black CD (like the old PSone discs) and my MBP refuses to read it.

I've used ifixit.com for info replacing HD's in my Macs and I noticed that they are selling 8x superdrives at $200. Does anyone know of an OEM replacement that isn't as expensive? My local PC bits supplier has slot loading burners for £40, admittedly not a direct replacement but exactly the same specs otherwise.

According to System Profiler it's an HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA4080MA.
