Sony’s new Double Layer DVD recorder
is a computer Geek's dream come true. Believe it or
not the single layer DVD+R's (4.7GB) disc's sometimes
is not enough for some my back-ups. So I'm happy to
see sony's new Double Layer DVD recorder with 8.5GB
or 8 hours of video priced at only $199. If your thinking
of buying a new DVD recorder consider Sony’s
new Double Layer DVD drive, with this DVD recorder
you can still record the cheaper single layer DVD+R
4.7 GB disc, then when the price drops on the 8.5GB
DVD double layer disc (discs cost around $12 a piece
) you can use them.
