Has anybody used this yet? Is it any good?

Lightscribe

I was thinking of getting that NEC that's on slickdeals right now for $43 shipped but I kinda like the lightscribe feature.

Advanced Search "lightscribe" or "light scribe" in General Hardware for a few threads, they may be in Archived threads by now.

I would say no. I've seen the end product and it looks like sh*t.
All you get is black images on a gold background.
It only scribes in one color (black)
Plus i heard it's really slow.

I would use the money for an epson r320 printer that prints photo quality pictures directly on the disc

I was thinking about getting one until I head how freakin slow it was. Plus the thought of having to buy special CDs and DVD discs really turned me off.

yeah I did, but I noticed that alot of regular ATOT'ers don't browse the other forums and I wanted the "offtopic" people opinions.

Thanks anyway.

The Epson R200 is only $99, but the ink costs will get you down the road. :p
