On Yahoo we can find a press release of Pioneer annoucing lower prices of their A03 drive. This drive supports DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-R and CD-RW and 2X DVD-R recording speed.
Pioneer hopes to bring this drive to mainstream with this lower prices. And thats nice because who doesn't want to write DVD and CD-R ?
``DVD-Recordable technology has become a standard in the authoring and professional industries and ensures a mix of compatibility and features ideal for digital video editing and distribution,'' said Hani Gabriel, senior vice president, Pioneer Electronics (USA), Inc., Business Solutions Division, Optical Systems Group. ``The new price point on the DVR-A03 now brings the technology to the mainstream consumer for applications such as video archiving, audio recording, digital image storage, computer backups and burning home movies. That content can be shared through a large majority of the current installed base of DVD-ROM drives and DVD-Video players.'' |
The drive is now available for $649 (MSRP). In addition, Pioneer's DVD-RW Re-recordable media has also been reduced and is now available for $15.99 (MSRP) per disc. Still too much for me
