sony dvd burner I bought a computer a couple of years ago and the it had light scribe in it. It quite working and I took my computer back to Best Buy because I had a waranty on it. Well instead of having them send the computer back for another light scribe burner, they put in this Sony burner. It was perfect and fast and percise, as a matter of fact with this I found out that the light scribe never did work right left glitches all the time and took forever, I would suggest to any one to get the burner and at a great price too. I also have a Sony camera and love it too. June 8, 2009
