[ADVICE ON!] Buying a cheap DVD burner...

Today's the day I get my hands on a new DVD burner. The only problem is, I know nothing about them. I've done my research, but I'm not entirely trusting of the websites I visited. I need advice.
My price range is around $100 Australian (About $78.50 American), although if there's particular benefits to getting a slightly more expensive one, that'll do too.
Thanks, but remember, time is of the essence.

These guys don't ship to Australia, but it's a fairly good benchmark: if you're paying more than fifty dollars Canadian for a DVD burner, you're being ripped off. Just find an NCIX/Newegg/Tiger Direct type computer parts store in your area. Don't get it from a large Best Buy type chain store because you'll end up paying like $150.

It's from Lite-On, they're an Original Equipment Manufacturer for HP (or so is my understanding), and besides the standard DVD-Rs, DVD+R etc., this mofo burns LightScribe DVDs, which are pretty cool in theory, even though I haven't tried to burn one yet.
With shipping (keep in mind I live in the States), it came to $46 and change.
Good luck to you!
