     That Best Buy link says that it's 'sold out' .. That burner is $64.99 +$4 shipping at NewEgg .. 3 day delivery!

     http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=Go&DEPA=0&type=&description=dvr-509&Category=0&minPrice=&maxPrice=&Go.x=15&Go.y=33

     As far as GOOD DVD writers ... My BenQ DW1640 is an excellent writer that also will booktype DVD+R and +RW discs as well as DVD+R DL ..Pioneer drives will not Booktype +R/RW discs without hacked firmware
