As another option, how rigid about foam insulation board? That should be similar in price to plasterboard and can also be easily cut down to size with a utility knife if needed.

Spent the evening trying to find a ceiling tile supplier locally, struck out. Will probably try cutting plasterboard outside the store as you suggested. Will also take some masking tape to cover the edges before loading it in the car, just need to dig out my Stanley knife, haven't seen it for sometime.
