dvd burner competition

**anchovies** · 03-09-2004,09:19 PM

im looking to purchase a dvd burner mainly to burn ps2 games. after much research, i have came up with serveral results. from what i have read from this forum, the pioneer series seems to be pretty reliable/popular. im considering the pioneer a07/107. ive also read good reviews about sony's DRU-530A drive. Both burn at about the same rate.

which one should i get? im stuck.
If anyone has burned with either one of these drives, could you tell me how it was. thanks

haha it doesn't matter what drive speed you have, it's safest to burn at 1x anyway...unless you don't have time to waste....

my 2 cents....all burners seem to work the same these days, i just found hte cheapest LG i could find and i've only had 1 bad burn out of 150 dvds so far

just find the media that's right for your burner, and you should be OK!!!

What do you base that on? A reliable burner such as a Pioneer model coupled with good media (including Ritek G04 and Verbatim), will have NO issues burning at top speed.

You can even burn 4x Ritek at 8x reliably with the A07. Will be gettin one myself in the next week or two. $30 rebate if you buy before the end of this month.

Where is this at?

What the rebate? I am personally going to go through www.newegg.com

by the way, if this has to do with the answer to my question...

i have a DMS3 V2.0 in my v3 Ps2

Ritek G04 and RecordNow Deluxe, which comes with your A07, does a great job.

At this point you might want to wait for the dual layer burners.
