is it better to buy from some local dealer or should i got to the rashi peripherals or to the lite on main dealer.....where would i get more warantty...because the local dealers give only one year warranty

Both are good... but now days there are tons of Duplicacy with Sony... so u would pay more for sony but u may get a Duplicate product :lol: I would say Lite-on then :lol:

say yes to liteon dude.I mean see all the reviews and recommendations by tech. magazines.Liteon is cheaper(relatively) and performs better.Choice is yours to make buddy.

see if u compare between the two both have performed well..but sony generally comes under the OEM pack (in kolkata atleast)....so it really boils around to ur priority

both are bad in my opinion....market is flooded with too many duplicate sony products..i myself own a liteon which losts its cd read/write abilities after a year although it still read/write dvds quite ok...so my suggestion is stick to standard products like LG.

Dunno about the prices but I dont think anything can be better than LITEON.LITEON dvd writers simply rock.even LG ones are good but not as good as liteon
