What is the difference between Pioneer DVR-108 ($85 USD)and DVR-A80XL($180 USD)? They both have the same writing speed (16X) and DL capability but the A80XL price is double ? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=27-129-156&depa=1 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=27-129-154&depa=1 Thanks You Dawner.
Dont take my word for it -- there is a world of difference , hence the price ! Read all about it here :- http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Reviews/Specific.aspx?ArticleId=10114 it boils down to say you are getting a lot of Software and blank DVd's with the retail package ! Both retail packages (DVR-A08XL A and B), include MyDVD Deluxe v5.3, DLA (Drive Letter Access) v4.9, RecordNow! v7.2, Simple Backup v5.0 and CinePlayer software v2.0.1. If you are wondering what the differences between DVR108 & DVRA08XL are, Pioneer explains: "...Apart from the cosmetic differences and Honeycomb Chassis for reduced drive resonance the retail version DVRA08XL also contains blank high speed media 8x DVD-R & 4x DVD-RW in the carton and additional software bundle as listed above. The DVRA08XL also includes Performance adjusting firmware, which allows for quiet playback of commercial DVD video..." _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Do It Right , and you will be a Happy Camper ![/small]
