They're two competing formats. There was a thread on Slashdot about this perhaps a month ago? Right now, neither is dominant, so either get a drive that supports both (so when one wins out, you're not stuck with worthless hardware, AKA Betamax), or hold off for another year until one of them wins.Jerry McBride wrote:Could someone tell me the difference between dvd and dvd+?
It would seem to be two competing media protocols... but which one is the one I
need? :') I'm almost ready to buy myself a new dvd writer so I can dupe some
pre-recorded dvd's and playstation 2 games...
Any pointers would be most welcomed...
pricewatch appears to have far better pricing than newegg. Any particular reason why you favor them?
Maybe you should look at the two Sony drives- DRU500A (internal) and the DRX500UL (USB 2.0) that do DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, and CDRW. Unfortunately, Newegg doesn't seem to have any in stock and I don't feel like looking elsewhere- but their prices are: DRU500A $365, DRX500UL $409.
