<< ok, i've decided that the lite-on is the best cd burner, especially for its price, but what about the dvd burners? Are the companies gonna decide on a format anytime soon so the prices can come down? I just dont want to spend $ on a cd burner and soon after a dvd burner that can do the same thing and more. >>
You don't have to consider getting one of those for a while. Reason being that the prices are still so high. Most of them range from $400 and up. Why get one of those when you can have a CD-RW for one of them. IMO, I think Pioneer makes the best DVD-RAM and DVD-RW drives, but HP also makes them, and there are a couple of other companies. Stick with the CD-RW for now, unless you have some major archiving to do. Hope this helps.
