Philips DVDRW

RobertFoster

I just saw a Philips DVDRW (dvdre885k dual layer) in PC World for €115. I checked out a few reviews and they were mainly positive (apart from lack of -R support, which, according to toms hardware, will be updated in september)

Just wondering if anyone knows of a better burner for cheaper online? I've a bit of trouble getting access to a credit card whenever I want to get something online, so it might be better off going for this dearer option :mad:

hmm according to my little currency thing that works out at £78...i got a NEC 3500..great little burner..does everything i throw at it...16x , does - and + and supports dual layer...cost me £61 from overclockers.co.uk

i love it ..i cant recommend it enough ..the pioneer one is good though too

€80 sounds good - has anyone bought media from komplett too (I want to make the €10 shipping worth my while ) link1 || link2 - or is there somewhere else I should go for media?
