My plextor was purchased in January and I know how media is slow to keep up with hardware changes. So I sort of just "forgot" about it. A few weeks ago I decided to check for some 8X RW media, see if it was on the market yet.
Google brought up
Sony 10-Pack 8x DVD+RW Discs with Jewel Cases
Model: 10DPW47L2 at Best Buy.
I went down there and the box says only 4X on it. part number was exact and I showed the sales guy the webpage in the store and compared. He said it must be a mistake. Yet they would not let me find out on one of their store demo burners. I have to buy it, bring home and test etc. Big hassle if it fails for sure and false advertising to boot.

I checked for this part number on the net and sure enough, the other sites list it at 4X.

I email Bestbuy and alert them to their mistake. They reply with a thankyou and say they will update the information.

Today I check and it's still the same. So I need to find out what the real story is from anyone in the forum with info. Please.

Thank You

4x media will one day dissapear, as will 8x but probably not in the near future. There are gobs of 8x media. Take a hint; use Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden discs. Try http://www.pricewatch.com

I'm talking about 8X RW media not R. Haven't seen 8X RW out yet. Have you?

Sorry, new glasses, really. I checked my trusted source http://www.meritline.com/4x-dvd-plus-rw.html and there appear to be none.

I suppose I'll get the ones best buy "Claims" to be 8X RW knowing they aren't then raise a stink for false advertising.

I warned them 3 weeks ago their add was incorrect and was told it would be fixed. I have email proof as well. Idiots.
