Hello my children,

I am looking to buy a dvd burner for completely honest reasons. I would like to backup my Playstation 2 games. What should I look for in a burner and are there many choices?

Pioneer A03, A04, and A05
Sony DRU500A

Those are the two answers you are most likely to hear, as they are the ones endorsed by nearly everyone who makes backups of their PS2 dvd based games. Price may vary from place to place. The Sony, a bit more expensive but it can write to +R and +RW media. I am in the process of tracking down a sony drive for myself as I have other plans besides the PS2 backups. Anyway there ya go.

Good Luck

Just wondering what your plans are that you need the +R/+RW format of the Sony??? :confused:

DO YOU HAVE A OFFICE MAX IN YOUR AREA? I BOUGHT A CENDYNE DVD-R BURNER FOR $169 AFTER REBATE. THE CASE ON THE DVD BURNER SAYS PIONEER 104 WHICH IS ACTUALLY THE SAME AS A A04. IT WORKS GREAT!
