I found the Sony NEC Optiarc AD-7170A for like $35.00 new at Zip Zoom Fly. I don't think it is the same as the one MTU offers, because of the price difference. MTU is sowing a price of $79.95 on their front page.

Just as with the Plextor drives that MTU used to sell these drives are tested and certified to read and write CDG files. That is part of the difference in the price. The rest you can chalk up to low overhead costs (no store to lease) for online sellers. You can buy the cheaper one and take your chances or buy a certified one from MTU and be guaranteed it will work.
