Page 1 of Which One Should i go for?

Hi,

I know theres alot of threads on DVD Recorders but i have finally decided on two but now can`t decide,

First is the new Philips DVDR 3300, Normally around £300 but with Argos they have 20% off so its now down to £240, looks a really nice machine but can`t seem to find to many reviews on the player...Need it to be multi region but im guessing the 520 hack works as they are very similar models?? I have reserved this at Argos until tomorrow

Second is the pioneer DVR433H, looks a good machine and seen a few reviews on Amazon and seems very reliable, can also get this for around the same price already multi-reigioned, Unlike the philips this only writes DVD-R where as the philips writes both - and +

But now im stuck... Please can someone point me in the right direction,

Thanks

Brad

Pioneer Good.
Phillips bad.



I quite like the Helpdesk people in a benevolent (as opposed to malevolent) way as they do some valuable work in preventing us being inundated by every halfwit who can work a phone.

I would go for the Pioneer one for shedloads of reasons:

[*]The recorded picture quality

[*]80 GB hard disk which has got decent editing functions (Unlike some cheaper brand recorders such as mustek and goodmans)

[*]it has RGB scart and progressive scan


Philips recorders are ok, but i don`t really trust the +r/rw formats because of their limited editability. I would strongly adivse the Pioneer due to superior picture quality and
build quality.
