NEC2500a is even cheaper and is the same drive, all you need to do is flash the firmware.

Nec ND-2510A isn't that expensive at all! ? DVD-R: 8x ? DVD-RW: 4x ? DVD+R: 8x ? DVD +R9: 2, 4x ? DVD+RW: 4x ? CD-R: 32x ? CD-RW 16x Waddaja say? I'm not satisfied with my current Nec ND-1300a at all though, so I'm a little sceptical about buying a new Nec drive... |

Sure have PC_Arcade, and on the hunt for media, with a close eye out 
Although I just saw in my Local Store that the Nec ND-2510A is selling for ?79.99 
Which isn't bad for a first release of dual layer hardware. Where are the discs though 
#EDIT# I mean NEC's First Dual Layer Drive, I know that Sony and others have had drives out for a while

I'm using +R nowadays, as they are the cheapest branded discs I can get. Think the majority of discs I've bought have been +R. What about yourself? |

Well I don't have the Samsung drive in my xbox *mutters under breath*, but all the xbox (game) ISO's I've created have played fine. I have trouble getting xbmc/xbmp to read them but again those are one offs! I've had no real trouble reading +R's on the old xbox

Has anyone botherd to look for media - it ain't out. Not to mention several sources are saying DL media will cost a significant premium above DVD5. Something to the tune of $13.30 US dollars or there abouts in Japan where the stuff is mostly manufactured per disc. It's not worth it right now. For that I could buy the damn DVD movie as most are between 12 - 25 dollars. Also I wouldn't spit on a NEC drive (you do realise NEC is Packard Bell) much less taint my PC with one. Hence my Sony DRU-530A DVD burner (burns 8x DVD5-R and 8x DVD5+R 4x DVD5+-RW after the firmware update). |

Like I said - price premium. 13.30 per disc is the price in Japan, expect higher elsewhere. One benefit is that this should drive the cost of DVD5's down further. I can already find DVD5's for around .50 cents a piece in 50 packs for 4x media and 1 dollar for 8x media. BTW notice how none of your links have any available. These won't be shipping till late this month and not in any quantity. |

Lets hope the price drops quick, but like Jack Death says, we can all enjoy a decreased price in Single Layer discs in the mean time
But come on, clearing up 8GIG of downloads in half an hour is going to be cool

LOL 2 in stock. Figure roughly twice the capacity of a DVD5 at 2x. Gonna take a nice while to burn about 40 min. I'll just wait for DL media to hit 1 to 2 bucks a piece. The price just isn't worth the added storage. You can buy double sided DVD5's for less than that. Anyway, CCE 4 pass can pretty much mean shrinking an entire DVD9 to fit on a DVD5 is nearly if not lossless. To be honest I never really did care about extras so i just rip out the movie to another DVD5 and use no compression. But I'm a DTS ES whore. |
