Plextor Burners - Compatibility

[Smooth Criminal]

Gday guys,

i currently have an ACER 161040 which no longer reads sd2 games. I havent had it for long and im not pleased with it. I would like some advice regarding a better unit .. ie... a Plextor.

I was thinking about the equivalent PX-W1610TA. Can any of you guys advise for or against such a purchase ? Im not sure if this burner is capable of reading/writing sd2. Can it ? I noticed the reviews which said that the 241040 can. Also, i suspect this drive will read sub-channel data and work with XP - is this correct ? Any other info or reviews would be greatly appreciated and if you can suggest a reputable online store in Australia where i can get one for a decent price, that would be fantastic.

Thanks guys.
