Just purchased the NEC-1300A from www.newegg.com. Great deal: under $180 delivered with extended warranty. So far, so good...burned several discs successfully. Now waiting for my shipment of x4 media so I can test FAST burns.
Drive came with 1.05 firmware. Upgrade to the latest "hacked" 1.07 firmware was a breeze.

I just got the Pioneer DVR-106D from AVlogic for 159.94 shipped. They also had the NEC 1300A for 139.00 shipped but choose the pioneer over it cause I have heard some problems with the nec and have heard more good things about the pioneer

I bought a second burner that is +/- combo so i can pretty much burn what i want
Besides, from the numbers i am seeing now it looks pretty close between the 2 formats,
DVD-R(W) 35% [ 287 ]
DVD+R(W) 16% [ 130 ]
DVD-R(W) / DVD+R(W) 30% [ 245 ]

I voted for DVD-R only because I was an early adopter and I have stuck with the format that works for me. I currently have a Pioneer A05 and will continue to use it untill it dies (hopefully not soon). Only then, and then only will I worry about format wars cuz I may have only one choice when its time to purchase!
I really don't like the + Format anyhow since Sony is pushing it. Sony always comes up with silly proprietary formats (ie. Memory Stick) that are always more exspensive and have a low compatability rate.

Pioneer have shipped over 5 million DVD-RW/DVD-R writers, beating the competition.

All I can say is that at a recent poll (first quarter of 2003) the majority of the people are burning not in DVD-R or DVD+R but in DVD+RW. Meaning that the sales of DVD+RW surpasses the sales of any of the other formats. This means that the above poll is not large enough to represent the average DVD writer user. It also means that drives with DVD+R/+RW capability IS the favorite choice.

Hi
If you honesty believe that +RW media is outselling not only +R but DVD-R then you don't know alot about DVD recording.
It would also give the manufacturers quite a shock as for this to be true, each +RW disc leaving the factory must magically divide in transit to arrive as 50 at the shop, otherwise physically there just isn't enough +RW discs produced to make this anywhere near true!
I do wish people would apply a reality filter before posting

Hi
I got a NEC 1300A OEM dvd-+rw drive. Under £100.
Great - update to herries 1.05v hacked firmware and it burns without a problem on the cheapest of 4x dvd-r disks. £22 for 25 disks.
FANTASTIC drive - don't beleive the bad reports it burns like a dream (providing you update to herries firmware - the original firmware doesnt do much for the drive at all, i couldnt burn ANYTHING with it).
