Where can I get a DVD-RW drive for $250 or less??????

[Super Warrior]

I've heard of decent quality DVD-RW drives like the Cendyne one,going at prices of $250 or less.But I've never seen them at that price.So which sites have these decent and cheap DVD-RW drives??


Until now the only one I've seen is the toshiba DVD-RAM drive at www.esbuy.com for $230.But the thing is supposed to only be compatable with DVD-RAM discs only so that's fairly useless.

I want at least a DVD burner that can use DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs.

Wow,that pioneer DVD-RW drive looks pretty good.


But It's a U.K site,I've never done buissness with a U.K site before.I live in the U.S.It's reliable right?

http://www.pricewatch.com/ is your friend. Do a search on "DVR-A04" (the retail Pioneer DVD-RW) or "DVR-104" (the OEM version). You'll have to go through a few pages of media that says "compatible with DVR-A04", but then you'll find quite a few places selling them for around $250. I'd recommend checking the vendors against http://www.resellerratings.com/, I think it's worth paying a few dollars more to deal with a place that treats people well.

And, just for reference, the bigpockets drive shows as 199 GBP, which converts to over $300US.

That's pounds--not US dollars, also no software.

Also, just saw MCM selling the HP DVD100i for $299 with software, burns to DVD +RW and CD R, RW.

Thinks for the advice As for the bigpockets site,well darn I though that 199 meant $199,not $300.That sucks.

Try bidding on one at ebay. But don't bid if the price is more than what it costs on retail.
