Plus, my boyfriend just got it for X-mas.... and Sony is a good brand, more known than Lite-On </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

Well we&#39;ve already said NEC do both DVD+ and DVD- and seeing as it&#39;s a Re-Writer of course it will do both +/-RW and +/-R. Also because Sony is such a high brand, it&#39;s double the price just because of the company you&#39;re buying it from. It&#39;s basically the same as the NEC so i&#39;m not saying it&#39;s no good or anything or the NEC is any better, but seeng as it does the same as the NEC you may as well get the NEC which is cheaper because the name isn&#39;t very well recognised. Lite-On is good, but again for some reason the NEC appears to be cheaper.

I totally disagree. There are decent brands out there that are just as good as the big brand names. For instance, do you go and buy your hardware from say a big brand company like Dixons, or something, or from some website which dosn&#39;t have shops on a highstreet as such. (EG: Ebuyer, Dabs, etc)

Hell, i buy what&#39;s know as &quot;Kick&quot; from Tesco&#39;s which is Tesco&#39;s own brand, as it&#39;s only 99p and comes in Litre bottles, but tastes exactly the same as RedBull but is tons and tons cheaper.

If you find a good brand other than a Major brand, then you&#39;re doing better than those which simply buy from big brand names.

This may be true (i really don&#39;t know), but DVD+ has a lot more functions and allows you to burn twice as much onto a DVD. You should check Here for the differences between the two types, and for a compatibility list on which players can play DVD+ type burns.
