I just bought this philips dvd recorder for someone for xmas. The guy in harvey norman didnt like Philips and recommended Pioneer but I had already bought it in Power City, are Philips DVD recorders any good. I was looking for the LG 160 HD but couldnt get it anywhere. i could bring back the philips and wait until after xmas if the philips is no good... any views on this. Budget aroung 350. i could get an 80 gig sony for this but went for the philips because of the larger HD
