what the h-e-double-hocky-sticks (  ) is the difference between dvd+r(w) and dvd-r(w)? given all other things the same, which would be the better writer buy (ie - pioneer a04 vs hpdvd2i)?
what about the sony 1.3 gig cd-r?

Hey Hoss you can do a search "DVD-RW vs +RW" on this forum and you will get all the info you need. This question is like throwing a match on gasoline. As far as the Sony DD, You cannot read the 1.3G disk in any other drive but the DD writer. Not a valuable format. Sony has plenty of money to go off and develop stuff that not many people would buy(i.e. Memorystick, mini-disk) and is compatible with existing H/W.

And that would be an understatement. The vitriol that can fly on this topic exceed anything you'll ever see on the Jerry Springer show.

I belive this guide will answer your questions: http://www.anandtech.com/guides/viewfaq.html?i=118
I myself will go with regular DVD-R and DVD-RW for the time being.The drives that support the DVD+ stuff is like twice as expensive than normal DVD burner which are already expensive as It is.And I don't belive It's that signifagant of a difference between the two to justify the much higher price.
As for the 1.3 GB CD-Rs,talk about a big waste of time and money.If they worked with current CD-RW drives It would be cool but they don't.And the drive that is required to burn them along with the DVD-RWs themselves,are all about the same price of DVDs.So I say to hell with It,just buy a DVD-RW drive

In August, some people will be able to have both DVD+R/+RW and DVD-R/-RW drives for under $500.
It took only about a quarter for the lowest price of 2x DVD-R/1x DVD-RW drives to fall from $400 to $230 and for the lowest price of 2.4x DVD+R/2.4x DVD+RW drives to fall from $500 to $290.
Pioneer DVR-104 (2x DVD-R): $235
Ricoh RW5120A (2.4x DVD+RW, 12/10/32 CD-RW): $200 or so
