As someone still waiting to take the DVD writing plunge, I see one good thing going for DVD-. While the cheapest DVD- burners (LG) are more expensive than the cheapest DVD+ burners (Liteon), DVD-R blanks are much cheaper than DVD+R. A DVD-R blank costs 50 units of our local currency, while a DVD+R blank costs 150 units.
