    ok, HDD space is beginging to be an issue with my rapidly increasing anime collection, and rather than get another HDD or two, like i did last time, I'm thinking about investing on a DVD burner so i can watch anime on the big TV downstairs as well as free up some HDD space :)

    So, anyways, which DVD burner is the best for my purpose and is at a good price?

    I've got the Pioneer DVD-R. Works decent enough.

    If I were to buy a new one, I'd get the Sony DRU500a. It writes to both formats. Runs about 320$US.

    Also, buy media surplus. The local office place wants 50 bucks a disk. I get them for about a dollar and a half.

    well, i have found that laziness is inversely proportional to the level of funds in my bank account :)

    the more money i have the less lazy i am :)

    but seeing as im really lazy right now (for another couple of weeks as well i expect) ....

    ::edit::

    hmm, dont ask me what i was thinking with this spelling.... "properotional"
