If i buy a cheap DVD BURNER for 80 bucks, how long will it last me???

First of all, is this a DVD burner? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?type=product&tab=7&id=1172881770621&skuId=8301198 and second of all, if you'll look in the first customer review the guy says he's already had 3 burners that "went out" on him this year??? Would i have to continuall buy Dvd burners?? And last question, i already have blank discs, and thats what a DVD burner does right? it puts stuff onto the blank DVD's that i bought right? It doesnt just store stuff... okay, thanks for any and all help

yea but those get terrible customer reviews and stuff. Id rather pay 80 bucks once then pay 30, have it suck and/or break, and then end up buying the 80 dollar one anyway. If you could recomend a good cheap one, thatd be great i dont have a blu ray player though, and i have no intention of buying one until its absolutetly neccesary. like with the VHS-DVD transition I sent you a PM about this.....
