pioneer burner confusion
I'm looking to buy a Pioneer DVR-A08 DVD burner, but as I'm searching the web, I find it refered to by various model numbers:
Pioneer DVR-A08 Pioneer DVR-A08XL Pioneer DVR-A08XLA Does anyone know if these are all the same unit?? sometimes in an article they use these numbers interchangably. I checked the pioneer website but couldn't find an answer! I'm afraid I'll buy the DVR-A08, and then find out it's the "junior, stripped down version" of the DVR-A08XLA! thanks. bob |

answer
for anyone who's interested, pioneer finally answered my question.
"The DVR-A08 and DVR-A08XL are the same. The letter after the XL indicates color. DVR-A08XLA (Beige faceplate) / DVR-A08XLB (Black faceplate) / DVR-A08XLC (Silver faceplate)" SO NOW YOU KNOW! :) |

Hi Robert,
If I'm not too late, I'd suggest you buy the A09 vs the 08. I bought the A08 about a week before the 09 came out... the A09 burns DL media faster. $62 at http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduc...129-161&DEPA=1 - read the specs between the two burners. HTH. |

thanks
it was a typo on my part - I HAVE been looking at the A09, not the A08.
Here's another question: Why would the Pioneer DVRS201 DVD Burner cost $4500, when the A09 costs under $100. Is it speed that makes this burner more expensive? thanks! |
