LPMiller gives props to Plextor!

OK, this was cool -

I just bought the new 8x Plextor DVDR/RW (PX-708A), and right there on top of the box is a Got Apex quote from LPMiller's review of the PlexWriter Premuim:

Quote:
Overall, this is the best drive I've seen in a long, long time, and one I'd be very happy to own - which I will be, as I plan on spending my own cash to get one. If that doesn't tell you Plextor has once again earned our Got|Apex Redline Award, nothing will.

Nicely done!

I had just got the 708 in the mail on Monday, and when I saw this I went to the box and sure enough, there it is. Didn't even realize they did that!

There, now I'm a published writer of box tops! Take that, Stephen King!

Plextor makes nice optical drives but their prices are above all else.

'bout time Plextor gives you the credit you deserve lpmiller. After all, look how many glowing reviews you've done of their products (well-deserving reviews, I should add).

Yes Plextor is generally more expensive than the competition, but you get what you pay for.
