Looking to buy a DVD burner?

[Loto_Bak]

Price will determine the "winner" in this battle. right now it is basically anyones game. A safe move for sony and consumers but the compatability each format has is "good enough" for most people. The price of descent media is not though. Whoever's media and drives are cheapest and has the best availability will win. Hopefully the A04 drive will plumet in price when the a05 is out.
A05 will burn at 4x so speeds will match pretty quick

In an attempt to end the confusion of choosing a DVD recordable format, Sony recently released a DVD burner that supports BOTH rival formats. DVD-R/-RW and DVD+R/RW for only $349.

So has anyone actually tried this drive?
I'm planning to buy either this one or take a safe
choice and go with the pioneer.

I recently purcased a panasonic lf-d311 for $179.00 & have burned ps2 successfully everytime w/ primo dvd, it only does dvd-ram & dvd-r, but I only wanted dvd-r anyways. For this price this is a very nice drive.....tdog4
