i agree, i was tempted to ask about this burner though as it's so low in price, and does CD-RW and DVD-RW...
it's 180 british pounds, or 498 Australian Dollars
(or 279 US Dollars hehe)
personally that's the cheapest i've ever seen a DVD burner, and being a Pioneer, it can't be too bad quality
but yeah, even this low price isn't enough to make me join the burning community, cause i bet i'd buy the standard which "looses" in the end
