just a heads up, Lightscribe isnt really that cool. the lightscribe media is expensive, and it takes forever to burn...well longer then a regular CD. plus, sharpies add a homemade touch the whatever ur burning

Lightscribe is a waste. Who needs a computer controlled sharpie in their DVD burner? They must think we're too stupid to know how to write

Still, that Pioneer is a very good unit. Get the SATA version though.

This is the one I use (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827135165 ) in fact I have two of them installed. They work great and have yet to get a coaster from them.
