well my once praised for its price optorite is dead. 8 months old and 247 burns. i get a refund of 80% of the purchase price , i guess not bad rental fee. now i guess i'll spring for the pioneer that Oriphus kept recommending when i was asking about burners. that is unless some one convinces my that sony is better, i had one person tell me that and i thought afterdawn will have the best answers.

Pioneer 107 would be my suggestion (from a Pioneer 104 user of 3+yrs)

Yep Pioneer have always done that , with the a04 or 104 (same drive - lol).
You should be able to pick up the a07/107 OEM for about $125 (is a price from £69:98 currency conversion)
OEM just means bare drive BTW , no fixing screws & crappy burning app disc (such as Roxio or old version of Nero).
$140 sounds very fair if it is the retail package tho actech...

The Sony name has lost it's luster many, many years ago.

If you want an OEM Pioneer get the 107D.
