Personally I'm happy with it. I'm tired of the POS crap that gets blown out at stupid prices.

I agree.

Cheap trash that blows away the good manufacturers (like Yamaha, no longer CD-writers), I don´t like it
Benq DW 1640 and 1650 , Plextor PX-755, Pioneer BDR-208 and 209D, LG GH24NSC0, LG BH16NS40 and 16NS55, Liteon ihas 124F and 324F, Pioneer DVR-215 and S21, Samsung SH-224DB and 224GB, and some more

Well given that I recently bought a Hitachi for only about $8 more than the cheap crappy units cost, I don't see this as a problem....

The Hitachi unit is a far better player in any case, just an end-of-line that's all.
