So from the link in the sticky, I'm trying to gather which I can get. I don't think I need a burner just yet, so there's an LG equivalent for its burner. I was also eyeing the Panasonic burner which seems to have a considerable read advantage for DL BD-ROMs, but there's no read-only counterpart. BTW, do these matshita desktop drives also suffer from the region lock the laptop drives do?
The Pioneer doesn't seem to have a read-only counterpart either (the previous-generation one did), but it does seem cheap enough if you don't buy the version with Cyberlink software. Which brings me to this post:
Thanks for any comments.

I'm not sure that you can call that "riplocked". The LG specs for the 6x drives do state 4.8x for dual layer discs. So I'm wondering if the 8x LG drive is actually riplocked. The specs for that one do say 8x.Don't do it
I have a LG 6x BD/HD-DVD reader which is "riplocked" to 4.8x BD-ROM/BDMV, the LG 8x burner is "riplocked" also
Get the Pioneer 8x Burner 203, it is not "riplocked", I just got mine delivered yesterday, the LG is going in my "spare" rig
Thanks for any comments.
