Not a "+" drive.
Probably better to stay away from it...

DVD+ Better?
How is it?
The reason I stay away from DVD+ Medias
1st - Many Old DVD PLAYER cannot read them.
2nd - Blank Media cost Double compare to DVD-
3rd - It is not by DVD-Forum.. (Personally, I just think
Ricoh, Sony, Philips just try to make themselve unique
and avoid paying the authorize fee so they can make more
money..)
So that "DVD+RW Alliance" created.
By comparing the Specs between DVD- and DVD+, I only see the
Speed of DVD- generally slower than DVD+ and using DVD- use LPP
DVD+ use Wobble for addressing.
Also, if DVD+R is so good. Why Sony made Drive write DVD- and DVD+?
Sony dont have confidence at their own DVD+ Standard?
That just what I am wondering and thoughts. No offence or
anything.
BTW: For me this drive is better because of the DVD-RAM. I hate
to do the Finalize thingy all the times for rewrite...
Thanx~~ ^_^
To Buy or Not To Buy.
That is the Question!
Not good IMO.
It is a "-", not a "+".
And only burns at x2.
I've seen DVD+RW for $180.
They right DVD-R's at 4x and 2.4 I think on the +RW.
I know people with the xBox who need the +RW in some cases to make game CD's.
I should have been more clear, but their are drives by NEC that are +RW for the same price.
Just my thoughts...

You mean DVD+R's don't you. I just bought a NEC ND-1100A retail +R/+RW for $170 including tax (free shipping and no rebate) on a Dell deal that was recently posted. The 4X DVD+R speed will come in handy when 4X media prices come down.They right DVD-R's at 4x and 2.4 I think on the +RW.
