PIONEER DVR-107 Need H E L P !!!

Currently considering ordering PIONEER DVR-107 DVD recorder.

It is available for $115 which includes shipping. Sounds like a great price, but it is described as "OEM" or "bare" drive.

Does this mean I get no software to install in an XP machine?

Are drivers downloadable . . . . or necessary?

Is this a good recorder?

Thanks so much for your advice and comments.

LGS

You'll just get as it suggests, the bare drive. No cables, software or fancy packaging. It keeps costs down which is a nice option for the consumer to have.
Drivers - not needed, Windows should pick it up automatically.
Software - there's an abundance of dvd writing software on the internet: free, shareware and retail software.

In researching Pioneer DVD burners, I find that the 106 is more expensive than the 107. I would have thought the 107 was the later, better drive, but the price does not indicate that.

Can anyone compare the two for me?

Thanks,
LGS

Should not be the case.
106 burns at 4x on both media
107 burns at 8x on + media I think

Maybe you were comparing the A06 with the 107 - the A indicates it's the retail package with cables, s/w etc
Or maybe you were comparing two different places.
