can any one tell me the differences between the 105 and the 106 pionner
dvd writer i am looking to by one and want to know if its worth paying that
bit more for the 106 thats comeing out on the 24th of june

Quite simply the difference between the 105 and the 106 is that the 106 supports + format writing and the 105 does not. 105=4x DVD-R/2x DVD-RW
and the 106=4x DVD-R/2x DVD-RW and 4x DVD+R/2.4x DVD+RW. If you want the ability to write + format discs then spend the Xtra $ and get the 106 if you are content with the - format then I wouldn't bother with the 106. The 105 does also have the 2x4all firmware hack which means that you can write just about any 1x DVD-R disc at 2x. I personally would stick with the 105 for cost and firmware options but if you really would like to have both - and + formats then you will have to get the 106.
