Dvd writer £102.23 delivered

Came across this earlier it`s a Vivastar ( re - badged Panasonic) RS-111 Internal IDE DVD Recorder
- Supports DVD-R (1x) and DVD-RAM (2x) for total of £102.23 three to four days courier delivery, it is one of the older early dvd writers and I am very tempted but can`t help thinking back to when I bought my first cd writer drive only to find six months later they were half the price and twice the speed , should I go for it or wait til the newer faster ones drop in price ?

find it here

A mate of mine has a writer, and he said that writing at 2x is fine, but if you burn at 4x, then the discs often do not work properly?

How is this? So is it worth waiting, or would a 2x be money well spent at the moment?

I`m rambling, arent I??

Think I will wait a bit longer then and see what happens with the prices in the near future.

Thanks for the advice.

Been thinking about this and with the prices of DVDs I can`t see that it`s really worth it. Most DVDs after a few weeks you can get for around a tenner, and I would much rather have a genuine copy than a skanked one. I don`t think I am gonna bother. Certainly not until the media is a lot cheaper.
