Im after a DVD rewriteable that will write +r(i think thats the one for standard format).

Which do you recommend & what is the cost?

Cheers

Depends on what u wanna spend. If money is no object, then get one of the hybrid ones like the Sony one, which supports all formats.

If u r constrained, then Ricoh do +RW/+R format one for £200 (£170 in the PCworld sale if u can get there before tomorrow)

NO! dont buy a ricoh dvd+r drive i have one as well as a pioneer dvd-r drive, never mind what people say the compatability issues are all with dvd+r , pay the extra £30 and buy the sony cause it does both or just buy the pioneer

I have a sony dru-500a took ages to find one as they are hard to come by. burns dvd-r/rw (4x) , dvd+r/rw (2.4x), cdr/cdrw (24/10) great drive so far.

Regarding compatibility, I would proberbly go with dvd-r as these discs play in the xbox ps/2 etc. unlike dvd+r which wont play in my panasonic dvd player, or ps/2 or xbox.
