How about a 16x Pioneer Slot DVD + Hollywood Plus Decoder for $142 US? Not sure how much that is in Canadian funds, but it's a really nice drive

I don't think so, can't you just get a software decoder?

Yeah you can get only a software decoder but the picture quality will most likely be better with a hardware decoder.

Yeah, I could get a 16x Pioneer and WinDVD 2k for $95!
