Not sure how hot this deal really is with individual player selling cheaper but it comes with "Just Link" which is there version of Burn Proof.

That is quite decent actually, comes with PowerDVD 3 and Easy CD Creator (ugh ).

I posted this (not as a hot deal) earlier this week. I bought this drive after Christmas and have enjoyed 12x burning since. I'm burning so much (copying my audio CD collection via DAE + encoding to MP3) I hven't even tried DVD playback. But, I have a standlone DVD player, so I haven't needed that feature.

Oh yeah, I got the retail kit for $260 or so from Buy.com. Software was Prassi for burning and WinDVD for playback (I think that was it).

I've heard of Just Link and also saw Just Link and Burn Proof are under the same category in Nero. But is Jint Link the EXACT some technology as Burn Proof?

Gogocity has it for $195 but not sure how much is the shipping.

[edit]
I think both has the SAME function but developed by different company.
Just Link developed by Ricoh (read the page 4, I think they are attacking burn proof technology) and Burn proof developed by Sanyo (if I'm not mistaken)

Just Link and BurnProof are two different patents, but do virtually the same thing.

well if u got a dvd i would rather get a plextor 16x

I can't read the page 5, 6 and 7 about the Just Link technology. Anyone has the same problem?

Same problem here. Anywho, you think they can hack the firmware to make it burn dvd's? that would be very cool, even though DVD blanks are like expensive as hell (cost more than a movie itself).

Yeah, Just Link and Burn Proof have the same effect at current writer speeds. If writing speeds get up to 24x or so, Just Link will have the edge because the size of the gaps it creates is shorter, so at ~24x the Burn Proof gap length becomes long enough to mess with the reed-solomon error correction that the cd's use. Just Link is probably good for up to around 50x write speeds.

But, you can count on Burn Proof being modified for shorter gap lengths once 24x writers come out.

I'm an owner of the above mentioned DVD/CDR/CDRW driver and think it is great. Only problem was the DirectCD in EasyCD 4.5 didn't work with it. Don't know about EasyCD 5.0...
