I just hope it won't take as long to agree on a standard when it comes to writable blu-ray discs. It's been a couple of years now for the DVD format and they still haven't decided wether it should be DVD+ or DVD-.

The recent boom in DVD writers has allowed them to become more mainstream and everything is pointing towards DVD+ now. The media is cheaper and living-room DVD players seem to be more forgiving in playing that format. Also, most big brands (including Plextor) are now selling DVD RW+ drives, and not DVD R- (with the exception of the Sony drive which is able to handle both formats)

I was looking into buying myself a Sony, but now I think I'll get a Plextor instead. Plex has never let me down (I've had 6 Plextor drives up 'till now), and and as said before : it looks like DVD R- is going to loose the fight anyway.
