Ok, for the past month or so I've been in the market for a DVD burner. For me DVD-R writing is a must, because of compatibility with the PS2, but it looks like DVD+R is winning the DVD format war. Just recently I found a Pioneer A05 on www.newegg.com for about 175 USD, this is a DVD-R only drive. My other option is the Sony DRU-500a that burns both DVD-R and DVD+R, sadly it is significantly more expensive; 283 USD.

What drive should I buy?
