DVD-ROM

Most of the "Read Only Memory" discs are discs you get from other people. They're called "read-only" because users cannot access or change the software. Before the birth of rewritable discs, all discs were read-only and needed CD-DVD drives to read them. Today, "burners" (computer components that record discs as well as read them) are more popular, but CD and DVD ROM drives are still used in home and business electronics and they are going to be around for a long time--just like the Overstock.com computer store is going to be around, letting you buy at up to 70 percent off retail.

All your Hollywood movies come on DVD-ROMs. If you don't have a DVD player, you can buy software that'll let you play movie DVDs through your DVD ROM drive right to your television. DVD-ROM drives are also great for the new, larger computer games coming to market, especially if your computer is hooked up to a cool new HDTV!

Speaking of cool and new, have you heard about DVD audio? CDs are still the mainstay of the market, but DVD audio puts more music on the disc. If you don't already have an internal DVD drive, adding an external DVD drive means you won't have to change the disc so often or buy a CD changer.

By the way, have you visited the Overstock.com entertainment store? You'll find CD audio, DVD audio and video by the thousands--no joke, no exaggeration--by the thousands! Not long ago, your home or office needed a CD player and DVD player (plus a TV set) to have music and movies. Today, your desktop computer and laptop computer can be your home theater as well as home office. All you need is the computer, a little software, your favorite home entertainment titles and the DVD-ROM drive you bought online shopping at Overstock.com, of course. It's the best of both worlds--entertainment you love at prices you can't believe.
