This is pretty nice but I'd like to see what Pioneer has for an encore. The piddly differences between the 03 and 04 models was nothing.

    I think Pioneer is stuck like Apple. There having a hard time keeping up with the (PC) tech. Pioneer still has the best DVD-R drive out there(My Opinion). It has the most compatible formats out of all others.

    Estimated selling price of under $350? That sounds like a fantastic deal.

    so how long does it take to burn a DVD at 2x? (i assume this is what the iMacs have) Seems like it would take forever!

    Yes Eugene. Methinks a DVD Burner in my future is closer than I had once thought.

    A little over half an hour including closing the disc.



    4x would cut the time to under 20 minutes for sure.
