Hopefully this means they're going to work out all the bugs BEFORE they ship the drive.

I'll take that as good news personally :wink:

I've never been a fan of products launched prematurely.... like any Windows OS, or the Xbox 360, or the PX-716a, or most intel CPUs.... etc

Yep, its out in Japan as well. Of course, that's based on the BenQ DQ60.. a drive that's been out for almost 2 months in some places.

Hmm most of the stores seem to list it between 65 and 85 euro's.
Offcourse I have seen exceptions were stores ask arround 115 euro's.

I still don't know if I should buy for Christmas a:
NEC 4550
Pioneer 110 (without D)
Plextor PX-750A

The point is not the price at all
but being able to make reliable backups of Data on DVD-RAM (not videos),
and having a good burner for video on DVD R's as well ...

I would say the NEC, if you only want a drive from this list.

What about a LG GSA 4167?

I have already a LG 4163B
and I like the (unofficial) firmware support for NEC
