Asus DVR-104 Vs Pioneer DVR-104

[tradetools]

I am looking to buy a DVD writer and had been very impressed with the Pioneer DVR-104 but the price was what was holding me back. Now I have been offered the Asus DVR-104 at about 15% less and the price is acceptable. However unlike for the Pioneer, I can find almost no reviews or user feedback for the Asus, and I would appreciate very much if any user of the Asus could tell me how they have been faring with that.

Is the Asus DVR-104 EXACTLY the same as the Pioneer DVR-104?
What about software, is even the software the same as for the Pioneer?

What is the difference (software) between Pioneer A04 and Pioneer DVR-104? I take it that Asus don't have a version of the Pioneer A04?

Thanks in advance,

Rick

Having just read the specs on it from the Asus website

It's very interesting to see that it has same feature's as the Pioneer A-104, leading me to beleive that it might be just a Pioneer made for Asus with a Front Face change.

But then again Asus make all there own stuff, so i could be wrong.

I would say give it a go, if it don't work for you return it and get yourself a Pioneer.

I got my Pioneer for £200 here in the UK and the price's keep getting cheaper.

I would also try the like's of Ebay Auction's etc... where you might even pick up a Pioneer even cheaper
