Two dual-format newcomers place at the top of the chart, dethroning the reigning dual-format champ, Sony's DRU-510A. The third dual-format drive, Pioneer's DVR-A06, almost didn't make the cut; this model suffered from surprisingly slow performance on our rewritable DVD tests (both DVD+RW and DVD-RW) due to its bundled software's write-verification pass (which can't be disabled). Also this month, we see one drive--a single-format model--drop below the $200 mark: Pioneer's DVR-A05.
