The TRUTH is a LIE waiting to be told.
I have seen similar deals hanging about the online stores. Do some investigation. Email them. Pressure them a bit, make sure they are the real deal!
That is 142.482 Euros.
Very good deal for us this side of the atlantic.
Good luck finding a media that burns at 8x
Thanks for the advise Zebra , i’ll get on the case like Perry Mason.

Hi Archv,
Since i purchased the 401s over two months ago, i can
honestly say that my experience with the drive have been
excellent. Yeah i did burn a few coasters when i first started to
get into backing up my DVDS, but i put it down to being a newbie
and not knowing exactly what was needed to achieve burning
success.
Now with more experience and using Ritek Purple 4x , Coasters are a thing of the past. I also own three other LITEON drives
including 163d Dvd rom and all have worked flawlessly.
Remember to feed your DVD burner with decent media and you’ll be rewarded.

Ivanhoe, i also already have Liteon CD Writer & DVD already - Excellent hardware & not a single moan from me.
But i cant help and take notice of whats being said on the forums… I am really trying hard to not be a Liteon FAN and instead listen to the general opinions out there - Plenty of crying. Im sure Liteon will probably sort out all these issues at some point as im aware of there high levels of firmware releases.
But the facts are right NOW LiteOn dont have a GREAT DVD Writer like they did with there CD Writers & DVD Roms. They are fairly new to DVD Writer afterall… .
Just my opinion.
ArchV,
Maybe i’m one of the lucky ones with the 401s, when i first started to get Coasters i seriously considered converting it to 411s but decided against the idea. I’ve also flashed with the new firmware but haven’t tried any different media yet.
I also thought of buying the new Plextor but it’s well over my
budget so it’s odds on for LITEON 811s.

Amah1,

I ordered one and the final total including delivery came

Ivanhoe…

i tried hardwareoptions but there is nothing on their site pls can u give me site where to buy
Lodoss118,
The price of £107.60p quoted was for the LITEON
811s and not the Pioneer. I’m not interested in the Pioneer only
the LITEON.

Did a search and found it here
You can a OEM Liteon 811s (who needs a box) for £99.98 Inc VAT + £3.99 delivery = £103.97 from SVP.
http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk/acatalog/Hardware_Section__.html
Their customer service is also second to none! 
Just ordered one from SVP
Any recommendations for blank media?
