Not a lot of choices right now, but there will be more options later this year. Liteon has one out right now for $40-50, also Plextor has the 755 w/ Sata(approx $120), which I would choose over the 716. One to watch for is the Pioneer 112, which will be released sometime this spring w/ Sata, apparently a month or so after the IDE models.

That's about the best you can do in the US currently. Prices seem to be coming down though. -
I use a TSSTCorp (or Samsumg I believe) which came with my HP, and it has lightscribe. I don't use that feature, but I can tell you this drive has yet to create a single coaster. I really thought it was going to give problems as I've always liked either Pioneer or Plextor, but this little baby seems to be holding its' own.
Not like this is used either, but it does DVD-RAM as well as all the other formats -

The drives work pretty well. -
I just bought the SAMSUNG 183L from Best Buy which seems to burn okay with the dvd media that I currently stock which is VERBATIM, TAIYO YUDEN, SONY DVD+R & MAXELL (MADE IN JAPAN) discs.
