Good deal on a CD RW drive

Best Buy has the LG 40/12/40 burner for $59.99 after rebates this weekend. Excellent burner at a good price.

Hmm... too bad I don't live in the US... my Ricoh 6x4x24x just died this weekend. Gonna order me a LiteOn on Tuesday. Then again, my cost to get the LiteOn is only $67USD, so that's not too bad.

Be careful with this burner. It does not support Mt. Rainier.
HAL9000, if this LiteOn you mention is the 40x, for only $7,01 more, it's the better drive. You might need to flash the firmware, though, as the first firmwares didn't support Mt. Rainier, but the newest one does.

If they are anything like their CD-Roms, no.
