... DogBomb ... He was a goalie for the Japanese National Team. He just signed a contract with the Los Angeles Kings ... He'll probably spend the season in the minors ...
.. And for some strange reason, we get the Best Buy ad here in Anderson, Ind on Saturday instead of on Sunday like normal cities do ..

Anderson, IN is not alone. I live in northern VA and we get the Washington Post sales/comics/tv guide/etc., on Saturday. About a year ago, we used to get them as part of the Sunday paper. I looked at the ads today, but guess I missed the BB offerings.

Do you have to buy a membership to shop at Sam's Club? I got crazy and stocked up at Office Depot when the Verbs were $37.99 .. but Sam's price is pretty good

Yo catfreak, office depot has their brand named media buy 1 and get 1 free.I just finished up that last 100 pack spindle of +8x that coded as ritek-r03.All 100 were perfect!
I'm heading up there tomorrow morning to pick up 2 more of those 100 packs.Hopefully they will still code as ritek?

I have purchased the Office Depot branded discs (for my granddaughter's backups) for several years now (both + & -) and they have always been manufactured by Ritek

At Office Depot the prices are $29.99 for a 50 pack (and get one free) and $59.99 for a 100 pack (and get one free)
and my favorite feature of the Ritek-produced DVDs, is the beautiful deep purple color .. quite possibly the darkest in the industry

Hey I was wondering if you guys recommend the Fuji from bestbuy or the office depot brand named media. Which ones are better>?

the FUJI from bestbuy is better IF you find the MADE IN JAPAN ones in either format...if made in japan, the fuji for the 8x DVD-R will be TYG02 (but these are VERY rare as i ONLY seen made in taiwan last couple of months) and the 8x DVD+R fuji made in japans will be YUDEN000T02 coding, again Taiyo Yuden media~ :)
this ONLY holds true if you get the MADE IN JAPAN ones, if made in taiwan you will probably get prodisc/fujifilm for DVD-R and ricohjpn/ritek for the dvd+rs :)
the office depot brand will most likely give you the riteks, which i like, BUT in my opinion, are not on the same level as the Taiyo Yudens which are great~ :)
Recommended Media:
Taiyo Yuden 4x dvd-r TYGO1/ 8x dvd-r TYGO2/ 8x dvd+r YUDEN000T02/ 16x dvd+r YUDEN000T03
Verbatim 8x dvd+r MCC003
Verbatim dvd+r DL (MKM001)= flawless no compression backups
"Do Yourself A Favor, Use The Good Stuff
TY & Verbs 4 Life~ :)" ~docTY~
"Its better to be quiet and appear stupid, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
I am always prepared to recognize that there can be two points of view - mine and one that is probably wrong - John Gorton

yeah the fuji DVD dash R will code out as prodisc most likly which isnt great media so def. stick with DVD plus R THAT are Made In Japan and like Kivory said they will def. code out as Taiyo Yudens TYGO2s which is great media
this is what sets Taiyo Yuden and Verbatims apart from the other blank media out there read below
Quote:
Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden DVD-R and DVD+R discs are based on an advanced ?Metal Azo? recording dye, which provides the highest level of performance, reliability, and archival life
that says it all

aabbccdd- Thank you for the direct and succinct explanation of why Verbatims & Taiyo Yuden are such premium Quality media I knew that Verbatim was AZo as that's one of their major selling points ! but I did'nt know why the taiyo's were so good just that they are !so Thanks for the education and edification ! Or as I often say " I would'nt want to know everything ! That would take all the mystery out of life!" But atleast now I know more ! Peace & happy burning!

I've had good luck with the R03's. I still have a few around to make copies for my family and friends and of course since they're +r I can booktype them dvd-rom. No bad reports of playback issues yet. I'm stingy with my hub printable +r verbs.

Circuit City has Sony Accucore 1-8x, 25 pack DVD+ And -R's for $8.99 this week! These are NICE! $8.99 for 25! Do the math, and these are High Quality Media too! Get em while you can for this price! 36 cents each! How can you go wrong! They also have TDK 25 packs for $7.49! Personally, I like the Sony better, however, I have never had any trouble with the TDK's.
Use The Best Media for The Best Burns! TYs, Verbs,(Made in Taiwan) Sony MIJs (YUDEN000 T02), Sony Made in Taiwan DVD+R 16x, Maxell MIJ, RITEK G05.
