Heres the Deal.
First off The Dvd-r discs are far more compatable with DVD players than Dvd+r's are.
This has been proven by countless testings compairing both the Dvd-r and Dvd+r drives.
Second The DVD-R spec is backed by the same forum that supports the Cd-r and rw spec.
Third Price these Pioneer drives are already around $240 to purchase online.
And now if I'm not mistaken there is a lawsuit against the companies supporting the Dvd+r spec.
Because they promised a simple firmware upgrade for the dvd+rw drives so they can burn the dvd+r discs.
Anyone out there pissed about that one....lol
Anyway instead of a firmware upgrade, they are makeing the consumers shell out more cash for a NEW dvd+ drive so they can start burning the VERY LATE Dvd+r discs....
Very very sad indeed.
My Money is on the DVD-R standard period!
I Love my Pioneer A03 drive.
