The Verbs at Best Buy are NOT the 'Movie Reel' discs ... And, you gotta look for the MIJ Maxell discs .. HOWEVER, the WORST Verbatim is still better than the BEST of anything else
That's my personal opinion and if you try to beat it out of me, you're gonna get hoit

The sale at Staples is still going on. I managed to find four of the #30 spindles of Fuji DVD-R 8x MIJ for $8.94 each. Yes, they did ID as TY.
The #100 slim DVD cases for $8.94 are a bargin as well.

josephga: Those maxells at office depot will come from both taiwan and japan for both the plus silver tops and dash 8x gold tops. The maxell 8x from taiwan are all ritek,still very good. The spindles that say made in japan are hitachi! Office depot likes to place Made in Japan stickers over where Made in Japan is on the outer shrink wrapper.
They also have the maxell full hub inkjet printables. Office depot has some great sales on them once in a while,so keep your eye on the sale fliers. The maxell +8x full hubs are coded Maxell-002-00 and made by Hitachi.

That's way too much. Try Super wal-mart. They have the maxell full hub printables,spindles of 25 for $15-$16. I thought that was high.
Office depot has a maxell sale,buy 1/get 1 free every month or so. They are definitely cheaper during that sale.
I haven't really checked out this weeks flier yet,since staples has plenty of those fuji ty's that are 1 minute drive from my home.

i couldnt find a single box of fuji DVD+R made in japan at my local best buy store...i did however see 1 box that was made in japan but it was DVD-R...i guess i'll look again soon.
How are the verbatim they have on sale? i saw those were also made in taiwan! Now i know why so many of you stock up when you see good media on sale...hard to find the good stuff :p

@mord,
the MIJ Fuji 8x DVD-R are ALSO Taiyo Yuden made~! TYG02 is the media ID coding and these are EXCELLENT MEDIA~!
also, regarding the Verbatims, MOST if not ALL of them nowadays are MADE IN TAIWAN, NOTHING wrong with that at all~ the general rule of thumb DOES not hold true with Verbatims~
you can NOT equate MIJ=good stuff, and MIT=crappy media~ at least NOT with Verbatim, and in my opinion, RITEK as well~
the MCC coded Verbatims MIT are GREAT STUFF, see my signature, also, RITEKS are ALL made in TAIWAN and they are good quality too, IN MY OPINION of course~
so, good luck if you do go back and pick that Fuji MIJ DVD-R spindle up, if i were you, i would have grabbed it and ran to the cashier~ :)LOL

Yeah, the Verbatim 10 pack DL's are $62.99. They're not even in the weekly ad. I don't know why catfreak posted them as $19.99.

catfreak posted that because they WERE/ARE $19.99 online...ONLINE ONLY, you have to go through the "pricematching" game when you go to the store to get them at this price, this MAY take quite a lot of arguing~ it was for me at least~ :) no go for me, but, OTHERS have gotten lucky~ :)
yes, they are SOLD OUT now, but inventory/stock changes on a daily basis, so, keep trying... :)

I got 3 packs of them, but i had to go thru two different managers to get them at the $19.99 price. But it was worth it to get 30 of them for that price.

I talked to someone at the corporate headquarters and they told me that matching their on-line price was up to the individual store. I was told that they ENCOURAGE the customer service managers to match their on-line (Buy.com) prices as long as the item is NOT sold out. I also pointed out that nowhere in their on-line ad did it mention that it was an on-line only price. Maybe if enough people call them and raise heck about their price matching policies, they will loosen up ...
