CompUSA has a HI-VAL DVD-+R recorder on sale right now http://www.compusa.com/products/prod...FC3ED009E6E17F what do you all think of it would it be worth it to get this or should i spend more and get a poineer?

I dont know how the HI-Val is, but if you go to pricewatch.com the pioneer 106 can be bought for $129 including shipping. No rebates.

In my experience with Hi-Val in the past (CD/CDRW's) they have actually been rebadged brand names (in other words, refurb's). I would only do this if you are really strapped for cash. Just be prepared that you may have to replace it within the next year. The longest I've seen a High-Val burner go is roughly 14 months under regular use. For comparison, I've had a factory refurbished Pioneer A04 for over 2 years now--and I use it constantly for PS2, Movie, and PC backups-- I've even started using it to archive data from work. Pioneers are solid--especially for the price.
