plextor has always been high priced but i think they are worth the money

others do too

 

[roadworker]

Waiting for a hardware review.....seems to be an awesome buy!

Looks great indeed... hope to be able to find it as OEM to spare some money (did anyone notice the useless software DVD that comes with it?)

oh what a nice bundle; so every purchaser is able to screw up his system with 4 different burning engines during one installation process;

Already found it a the usual unofficial Plextor distributor in Greece (same company imports high quality Taiyo Yuden and Mitsui CD and DVD media at very good prices, minimum order quantity being 50).
Estimated price for the OEM is 110 € plus 18% VAT, not bad at all... Delivery after October 20th.

@MASTER lol .........hes gunna come looking for you for that one ...lol

Yes this is the drive I've been waiting for too!

As Roady say's though, be important to see a good hardware review first before buying.

Yes indeed, Paleologou st. on Amphithea, Athens. I buy my Mitsui CD's from there. This is probably the only place in Greece to buy a non-Full Kit Plextor drive. I believe they also accept orders via mail, not sure though.

Thats good advise considering how bad their last DVD burner was!!!

LOL!!NOBODY deserves Roxio crap.If I buy it,I'll just do what I do each time I install a new drive.I'll just get rid of the software that comes with it.

Hope this Plextor is more "media friendly",but I doubt it.

All I can say is that despite being a Roxio hater myself I have v7 on 2 XP installs without a glitch and I've been very impressed... especially after the crap that was v5 and v6! lol

Their cover software is still, IMHO, about the best out there and everything else seems to work fine too. Cannot believe I have just typed this but there we go.

(Sits back and waits for scarecrow to post ....... )

It's okay..I've gone from liking Nero..to hating it,back and forth..I'm a regular Nero user again.

I have a huge fear of Roxio stuff.
