Back In the CD Drive Market...

Buying a PX-760A . . . what have I done?

For the price of that Plextor you can buy three LiteOns...  If a Plextor is let's say 50% better than a LiteOn but 200% more expensive than in overall it's not better IMHO

Is this so? How the mighty have fallen . . . If this is true, I would see such rebranding on the whole range of new drives as quite pointless, not much better than halting consumer production altogether. On the other hand, it gives me a good idea of which manufacturer to consider next.

I'm curoius how they price policy will look like... they will sell a 30$ drive for 100$ ?

It will be pretty pointless/foolish to buy the Plextor-branded drives in that case - and surely equally so for Plextor to do that in the first place.

As CDFreaks themselves say, "What would make you to continue to buy Plextor drives?"

Edit: Actually, one user put it quite well, if not the most eloguently :

Jeez, the news is more than a bad news for Plextor, it's flushing the Plextor brand down the toilet.

Can anyone comment on the new lh-20a1 drives from Liteon? (Because those are the latest and greatest from liteon, right?) Would that be a better or worse drive than that Samsung for reading? I can't find anything online about error correction. Or would it be safer to just get that Samsung. Thanks everyone, almost have this all sorted out.
