Pioneer asked the fil industry to make a useful proposal before Summer 2001 and as this proposal was not made, Pioneer started to sell the A03 for 1000 US $ - together with the prerecorded media format. > I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong in that perhaps DVD-R might be > the more appropriate format, but you should give some better arguments > than "it's the official format".
