+R disks too expensive compared to -R disks gonna have to pass.

Costco stores have a TDK 200-pack 8x DVD+R or DVD-R media for $42 in-store. At only $0.21 per disk, that's a deal... You can get them cheap if you shop around. They have PALLETS of them - I was there yesterday...

NO - I don't make money from that. Just trying to help...

hey for 24.99 it makes a pretty functional dvd player for your computer, and you can burn with it, although it is kinda slow. Ok really slow. but hey I got one.

For that dirt cheap price, it will make a DVD-ROM drive in a dual-drive system - and it is a CD-RW drive for cheap too.

I fix enough beater PCs to use them for people who don't know 4X from 16X DL DF lightscribe whuuut?

Now for something *I* use - naaaaa!

I already have a cupholder on my tower, thanks.

4x refirb $10 max. Bad woot!

Mission Accomplished little woots.

Peter - those -R discs will not work with this drive. Just a warning to anyone who purchases one.

The addiction has begun!!!

Heheh! I can't believe people complaining about 4x. It takes most people's software longer to compile the video than it takes to burn it. Who cares. 4x plenty good enough for just about anybody. What a great price. Give me more.

Ha ha ha ha ha... ha ha ha ha... wipes tears... ha ha ha

I adjusted it to this. I posted the wrong one.

As others have said, given what you can find at Newegg and others,
a refurb 4x single-layer +RW-only drive should be $10 or less...if on w00t
at all. I'd rather officially have a BOC than an Item of Crap with a Non-Crap
price tag...then again, w00tn't we all rather have a BOC?

Got an 8X DL burner with LightScribe. Don't need this.

What is the difference between DVD+R and DVD-R

First Woot. Can't wait to see what it's like getting it to work with Linux....

I wondered the same thing and this is what I "googled"

DVD-R:
Benefits: Better DVD playback compatiblity within home DVD players.
Drawbacks: Older technology and less money behind the format means that they come out with faster media and burner technology slower. You will frequently see DVD burners that will support (for instance) 16X DVD+R and only 8X DVD-R.

DVD+R:
Benefits: Faster speeds, more inovations like Double Layer discs (8.5 GB)
Drawbacks: Will not play is some home DVD players. If you know your home DVD player will play DVD+Rs then there is no reason to not use them.

DVD+R is a dvd disc that allows multiple layers for one disc where as dvd-r only allows one layer. Multi layer DVD+R can allow extra capacity per disc than DVD-R hence its high cost!

I think it makes a little more sense now.......yeahhhhhh ummmmmmm

wooty drive

2 hours and only 2 pages??? where did eveyone go??

Need a DVD player for my computer. Woot has it.
It also burns DVDs.
Excellent.
Refurbs are not crap, this will be enjoyable.

Maybe if it did all formats, was external and did 9GB disks!

pshhh not even a dual layer burner....goodluck burning dvd's with that HA.

Dude, you can buy dvd-r dual layer. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817507001

Hey, guess what? Woot has started to censor posts. My last one was deleted because:
we're trying to improve our community by eliminating one-word type posts, and unhelpful posts of little value

Woot claims to sell cool stuff for cheap. I tend to disagree. When I see a product that is lame I will say that it is "lame"

Thanks

PS This will probably be censored before you even get to read it.

Lame for you, but in reality just means you don't need it.

I would censor your BS too, most people that talk on here come to complain. Yet this did manage to sell out didn't it?

Maybe its lame to expect that everything on here should be for you to buy.

Fact is, if you want a cheap burner, and aren't concerned about speed, what's 25 bucks?

Sold out! -

Can someone add a self delete so if you make a mistake you can delete the post?

It's the difference of waiting 30 minutes to burn something vs. 2 hours.

sold out? *shaking head* i can't believe anyone bought this...

A lot of people will probably just use this as a dvd player in their comp...

after $50 rebate, and there aren't much left. and you pay minimum $8.50 shipping

so $25 no rebate, for a burner, I'd take it if I needed it, and was still available.

$1.99 shipping.

And they've had it for at least 4 weeks, despite the quantity shown. I already got my rebate.
