Sony takes the risk out of buying a DVD recorder by bringing all the popular formats into a single drive. The amazing new DRU-500A burns DVD-R/-RW, DVD+RW/+R, and even CD-R/CD-RW discs.* Internal EIDE drive includes an impressive, industry standard software bundle and is compatible with Windows® 98SE/2000, Windows ME and Windows XP operating systems. * DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs recorded on this drive may not play back on some older or entry-level DVD systems. The write-once DVD+R or DVD-R discs are more compatible for interchange with other DVD systems. Please record responsibly. Before copying anything onto a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R or DVD+RW, please be sure you are not violating copyright laws.

That is so cool.

But I'd still buy DVD-R's cause they're cheaper.
but maybe the dvd+rw's are better for backing up data etc..

That's the beauty of the drive, if one format is better at one task, you can use it! I'm ordering one as soon as it's in decent supply.

i still say its a pity that sony didnt manage to fit +r and +rw at 4x on there, maybe an updated ver then (hopefully soon).
