Question Dvd Writer in my Dell

I am getting ready to get another Dell here sometime in the next couple months. The company I work for allows us to lease them through them and it gets taken right out of my paycheck. Pretty sweet deal considering the wife doesn't have to know EXACTLY how much the computer was..hehe....Anyway....With this computer I can get a DVD+RW+R and a 16x DVD. The DVD+Rw+R I am assuming you can copy Cd's and DVD's. Should I opt out and purchase a DVD burner later or is the Dell burner a good buy. I am mainly concerned about backing up PS2's and movies.
Thanx for any help you give. I take it from the forums that the Pioneer A04 is a good buy.

Later

Eric

For both dvd movie backups and ps2 backups dvd-r is the way to go. Most ps2's don't play dvd+r very well if at all and dvd-r is supported by twice as many dvd players than dvd+r. You can check here to see what types of media your dvd player supports. The 104/A04 write cd-r, cd-rw, dvd-r, and dvd-rw. The A05(comes out in a few days) does the same except faster. The new Sony Dru500A is the only burner able to write both -r and +r. Pioneer is widely used by users in this forum and is highly recommended.
