I love the ability to scribe a laser label on my disks. The added bonus of having a few colors is great. I will always buy lightscribe drives from now on. Why mess with any other kind of labeling system? I haven't tried Lightscribe DVDs yet, but plan to as soon as the prices come down a little more. The only thing I'd like is a faster scribing process, as stated in the Cons. That's an equipment issue, not an issue with the CDs. I'm sure it will happen sooner or later.
What's great about it: Lightscribe CDs are awesome and easy to use. Mutiple colors are great for organizing.
What's not so great: I wish the scribing process didn't take as long a it does, but that's not an issue with the media itself.
