The only reason I say that is I'm currently trying to find one for a friend... he had spoke with a guy that had two 20's my friend offered him 500... and the guy was about to sell one to my bud. The next morning he informed us that he sold both 20's for 1200 bucks to someone else. That was about a week ago. So if you can get one for under 500 snag it! Because someone WILL offer more money for it. Like Ninti said... you can get drives anywhere... the price for an empeg will only go up.
