the dvd recorder at 300 seems a bargain...but[ and there,s always a but] will richer actually have plenty to sell, if they do i can imagine them going quickly!
On the link it says: "This item may be substituted with a Philips DVDR980 that is of similar specification, but cosmetically different." Is the 980 better, or worse?
but the thing with philips dvd recorders is that you can update the fimware to alter things like recording time to 6 hours playback features etc.
there is a support web site ,when i find the address i'll post it on here.
here you go : http://www.dvdplusrw.org/video/firmware_download.html
this site gives you loads of information on DVD RW+.
DO NOT HOLD ME RESPONSABLE IF WHEN UPDATING YOUR FIRMWARE IT ALL GOES HORRIBLY WRONG !!!
I AM JUST PASSING ON THE ADDRESS!
