@ambrewz... dude Sony just rebrands and sells Lite-on and Benq products...
In any case... the Sony Dw G120 is a good buy... Its a rebranded Lite On 165p6s and this drive won one of the digit gold buy awards.. its cheap too bout 2.7 including VAT

as said by teknophobia, sony is a lite-on...but i think it looks better..lol
and everyone i know who has it, never heard a single complaint. the DRU-810A is said to be the best in its class, the lite-on won the digit award due to package content mostly..so thats not really important...the benq one has slightly faster read speed.
judging from common talk though i would definitely say the sony is the best

Don't bother with Lightscribe. It's overpriced, you can't find any media and it takes too long to burn a label. Stick to a standard Sony dual layer burner.

HMM , abt sony dvd writers .. sony only sells drives manufactured by others .. like lite on and now days benq .. 
SONY DRU 810 A IS NOTHING BUT BENQ DW 1640  - SAME HARDWARE BUT LESS FEATURES IN FIRMWARE ... I MEAN THE DRIVE IS MANUFACTURED BY BENQ ..
ALSO, NEW MODEL SONY DRU 820 A IS A BENQ DRIVE TOO .... BUT THE ORIGINAL BENQ IS NOT RELEASED YET ... BUT THIS NEW DRIVE IS BASED ON A PANASONIC CHIPSET WHILE OLDER IS PHILIPS CHIPSET .
NOW WHY U WOULD GO FOR SONY WHEN ORIGINAL BENQ DRIVES ARE AVAILABLE IN MARKET WITH TWO YEARS WARRANTY .
ALSO U CAN GO AND CHECK WWW.CDFREAKS.COM AND CONFIRM THE FACT ABT SONY AND BENQ DRIVES ...
I AM USING BENQ DW 1640 FOR LAST 6 MONTHS .. ITS ONE OF THE BEST DVD WRITERS WORLD HAS SEEN ... ALSO IT HAS LOTS OF FEATURES LIKE SOLIDBURN , MEDIA OVERSPEED , ERROR SCANNING , FREQUENT FIRMWARE SUPPORT .. the list is endless ..
i would only say that u can get benq dw 1640 ..

Liteon is certainly the best.
Sony is good.
Dont know about LG.
But Samsung is worst.

I have a trivial question, please do not take it otherwise.
Well, what is the difference between Dual-layer DVD writer and single layer ones (if there is any)? And are the DVD discs available for them different in terms of capacity? And does this mean that data can be written on both the sides?
And what is the price of blank DL DVD discs?

lite on has just released new firmwares with hyper tuning and over speeding functions .. .. also buddy u can use softwares like omnipatcher to improve the drives reading performance ..
also lite on has large user community where u can get any softwares to tune up ur drive .. 
also lite on has better firmware support than sony .. anyways both the drives have same hardware and are manufactured by lite on ..
also if there's any prob with hardware than i can always crossflash it to sony firmware and get the warranty ... and I got this drive as a gift ..
hence tried all these modds ..

well the ultimate best is BENQ DW 1640 - with 2 yrs warranty ..
also new BENQ DW 1655 with LIGHTSCRIBE is excellent drive too .. with 2 yrs warranty ..
and LITE ON SHM 165H6S is a super multi drive with lightscribe .. 1 yr warranty .. no idea abt its availibility in india ..
sony dru 810 is nothing but benq 1640 with sony faceplate  ..philips chipset
and new sony dru 820 is also benq rebadged drive .. only exception here is benq has not released the original drive yet .. and this new drive is based on panasonic chipset .. philips nexperia chipset is considered as one of the best in dvd writing..
