4x DVD Burner - the Next Gen

[dannyaa]

I was wondering if anyone had been following the DVD burners lately. I have been waiting until they develop a little bit, and I am thinking about putting one on my Christmas list. BUT, only if the next generation should be available soon. Does anyone know the progress of things in this market or how/where they stand? Is this a good time to buy? If so, why, and if not, when might be? Any news on a 4x DVD-R burner? Is DVD-R going to be the best format for buring movies onto DVD for wide compatibility on people's home players? What is the difference between DVD-R and DVD+R, I really have never understood this.
Thanks all!

Dan

you can buy sony's dvd+-RW/R for $315 at mwave. It should be in stock some time soon. It's not in stock now however.

Life is irrelivent and irrational.

Me too. I'm waiting for an affordable 8x or greater DVD-R. I'll probably be waiting a good while though :frown: .
