+RW and -RW are competing rewrite DVD standards. Typical of the computing 
industry not to be able to standardise ;) The jury is still out on which is 
the best.

If you're desparate for a DVD writer now, probably your best bet is to get a 
drive which can write to both standards. There are some Sony drives that can 
do this, which I've seen recommended, amongst others.
