Wow! thanks for the fast reply bighap. I know the biggest factor is the cost of the media, 2x speed is fairly cheap. Is there really a big difference between the Toshiba and the Pioneer when it comes to compatability with software and backing up PS2? Can the Toshiba be flashed to multi-region? The reason I ask is the Toshiba is £159.00 and the Pioneer is £210, I will have to wait for stock for the Pioneer (some sort of shortage in the uk?), and the Toshiba is available now. If there is a really big difference between them I will wait. Sorry to drag the thread on a bit, I am just trying to justify the extra expence for the Pioneer. One other question, do you know if the front bezel of the drives comes of easily? Only I plan on spraying my new drive to match my Lian LI PC65.
