Best DVD Burner under $50

[goobernoodles]

Hey,
What do you guys think is the best DVD burner for under 50, lower the better. I'm looking at this BenQ model.

This is for an old lady, so she really doesn't need that much as far as features go.

The combo deal with the 25 pack DVD-R's is nice also.

I second the NEC.
The BENQ isn't bad especially with the combo deal but I just have a preference for the NEC.

BenQ make better burners than NEC, but that's mostly due to the features that you have to enable using hacked firmware for NECs. However unless you're a tech geek then you won't even know what the difference is, let alone want to use the additional options.

I'd go with the NEC. You can then go to the CDFreaks forum and get modifed firmware by Liggy&Dee which gives the 3550A support for even more media.

Can you explain?
