    I'm thinking of buying that. Just so I make sure it's what I need. It is a dvd burner right? I get a little confused with all the DVD+R and DVD-R. Also if I get it and I want to use the lightscribe feature will I need to buy special cds and dvds? And will the lightscribe work with dvds and cds?

    Thanks Guys,
    -Taylor

    yes it is a DVD burner.

    Yes you need special discs to use lightscribe on them

    yes lightscribe will work on both DVD's and CD's as long as you have the lightcribeable DVD's and CD's.
