Depending on how much you burn cd's you'd still save a bundle on labels/ink...

From the lightscribe website:

Quote:

Your LightScribe-enabled CD/DVD disc drive contains a special laser that pumps light energy into a thin dye coating on the label side of the disc. The light from the laser causes a chemical change in the dye coating that shows up as a visible point on the disc. With laser precision, LightScribe delivers closely controlled light energy to multiple points on the disc as it spins in the drive. The result is a high-resolution reproduction of the artwork, text, or photos you composed in the software application. Seeing is believing!

Hey lightscribe is a great idea...but do you really thinks it's worth paying the premium for it?
