Dick Smiths have retail packed drives (Pioneer) for $90 and even Forlongs, a large department retail store in Hamilton have retail packed drives with software included for under $100. | andy (473) | ||
| 528011 | 2007-02-26 22:32:00 | Ahhhhh, lets see now.............. maybe because blu-ray and hd-dvd writers/players are EXPENSIVE, as are the disks. Yes until they go down as they always do. And you missed my other bit: Of course if you actually need one then great. If you don't though............... |

| 528012 | 2007-02-26 22:45:00 | I swear by the LG range of DVD writers. They cater to all the formats +R, -R, +RW, -RW, RAM. Mine has burnt heaps without a hitch, and they currently can be had for well under $80 Finding decent, reliable MEDIA however is still a major issue. |

| 528013 | 2007-02-27 03:40:00 | I got a DVD-RAM drive for $77 from Ascent - no problems so far. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 528014 | 2007-02-27 04:00:00 | Yup this supports DVD-ram, altho I havent used it for that yet. And by the looks of it one of the latest burners (ASUS) supports 12x writing/read to DVD-ram and the other formats, as well as lightscribe. A bit more than $70 - closer to $100. Altho other shops maybe cheaper. |
