Sgt_Strider, have i seen u before at cdfreaks or cdrlabs??? hmm anyway, i have a liteon dvdrom and have done testing on my burns from my pioneer106D and i can tell u that the results are quite good. they work well on my ps2 also, especially the TY. ur guaranteed to do sucessful burns with just about any media on the pioneer so i have to give it the thumbs up. cant speak for the liteon, i hear its a bit of a mixed bag. go with the safe reliable option, pioneer.
