Prices on burners
Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2004 2:33 pm
My samsung burner is slowly going downhill. I'm ready to upgrade and looking for a good burner. The ideal burner would be one that lasts at least 2 years. My old samsung is having problems and it's only been about a year and a half.
It seems that everyone shouts praises on the lite-on burners. So why are the lite-on burners so cheap compared to the Sony or TDK burners which are $60+ at CompUSA?
There was a Memorex 52x24x52 at CompUSA for 29.98 flat (no rebate). I was scared to buy it thinking it was junk if it only cost that.
Does price have anything at all to do with how good the burners are?
