    Nice to see those speeds starting to creep up. However I don't think that 8x +RW increase warrants me upgrading from my Sony U10A just yet.;)

    Always something bigger/better coming out.

    I just purchased this not even a month ago:
    Sony DWU10A/B2 DVD+RW Combo Drive (Black) @ $273.99


    Googlegear.com had the best price I could find. I wonder what the Plextor drive will run.

    I don't know if I *need* the plextor's speed, but it sure would be nice. In the future (3 months? 6 months? a year?) I might need the speed of the Plextor.

    /me thinks the 8x discs will be a tad expensive for a while.

    Somehow I think the industry is going over to the DVD multi format. Even TDK has released a 4x DVD+/-RW drive.

    http://www.tdk.com/dvdburners/indidvd4xmultispecs.html

    But this is:
    16x CD-R
    10x CD-RW
    40x CD read
    32x CD-rip
    4x DVD+/-R
    2.4x DVD+RW
    2x DVD-RW
    12x DVD read

    Awesome.. Nice to see more multi format burners coming out. That means lower prices on the Sony when I build my next PC :)
