In the
Taiwan market, retail prices of 16x DVD Dual DL (single-sided
double-layer) burners made by major local producers, including Lite-On IT,
BenQ, Asustek Computer and Micro-Star International, fell to
NT$2,600-2,800 (US$81-88) last week. Hitachi-LG Data Storage (HLDS) and
Toshiba-Samsung Storage Technology (TSST) also lowered the retail prices
of 16x DVD Dual DL burners to NT$2,850-2,900 (US$89-91), while Pioneer and
NEC made a downwards adjustment of prices to NT$2,950-3,000 (US$92-94).In
addition, retail prices of local-brand 12x DVD Dual burners slipped to
NT$2,200-2,300 (US$69-72). Those of 8x DVD Dual burners dropped to
NT$1,900 (US$59).


Looks like consumers are getting even better deals on DVD burners. DVD
burners are nearly the same price as the top end CDRW drives now. 


I remember when i got my first 4x CDRW Aopen 9420 drive for about £200, now
you can pickup CDRW drives that are 12 times faster for about 1/8th of that
price.
