You took the words out of my mouth, 100 tys for 32.00 can't be beat even by sales at retail stores.

With the price of gasoline at 2.25 a gallon you are getting those discs cheaper than anyone could possibly get them retail.

Yeah, just wasted gas to try and get those dual layer disks that were on sale at CompUSA last week, drove all the way there only to find out they did not have anymore, what a come on. From now on I will do my ordering from supermedia they are always having some kind of sale you just have to check every few days.

You have got the right idea, most people are into instant gratification, they can't wait for the package to arrive.

it's approx 91-ish pence a litre here in UK at the moment.
as for reasonably priced yet top notch quality -R media, Verbatim datalifeplus. Over here i don't waste fuel fetching anything, never mind DVDs!. i usually buy 100 8x Verb's for £38 inclusive of £4.49 shipping, which reminds me i haven't bought any for a while..
just checked - www.svp.co.uk aren't doing any 8x +R Verbs :(
so i'm gonna order probably 150 -R's

sometimes it's difficult to change huh creaky? LOL especially since those dvd-r Verbs are staring you right in the face with the "please buy me-puppy-dog-look" on them~ :)
agreed w/ all the above posters, TY or Verbs in dvd-r format, you will be good to go~

Yes the TY-100 pack from meritline or supermedia store for 32 or 33 bucks are the way to go . i have used over 800 of them now with great success ( not as many as Kivory but who has) LOL.So they def. can be trusted as great blank media.
