Hi there,

When you are shopping for stuff, most of the time, when you pay more, you get more.

But it's totaly wrong when it comes to media, and he is my 2 minute proof.

I live in Canada so all those prices are in Canadian Dollars.

http://www.blankmedia.ca/
=========================

DVD-R 16X TAIYO YUDEN SILVER [TYG03] (50 PCS) = $25.95
DVD+R 8X TAIYO YUDEN SILVER LACQUER [YUDEN000T02] (50 PCS) = $25.45
DVD-R 8X TAIYO YUDEN SILVER LACQUER [TYG02] (50 PCS) = $22.45
DVD-R 4X TAIYO YUDEN SILVER LACQUER [TYG01] (100 PCS) = $39.95


http://www.bestbuy.ca/
======================

Memorex 16X 4.7GB DVD+R Spindle - 50 Pack = $39.99
Memorex 16X 4.7GB DVD-R Spindle - 100 Pack = $79.99
Memorex 25-Pack 16X 4.7GB DVD+R Spindle = $19.99
Memorex 25-Pack 16X 4.7GB DVD-R Spindle = $19.99

You would actually pay MORE for Memorex than Genuine Taiyo Yuden, now something is wrong with this world !

Have a nice weekend everyone !

That's true down here in the states. There's a huge memosux sales going on for around 30 cents each at staples and other stores.Then you can get the mitsubishi verbatim 16x for the same price of bestbuy and office depot I believe!

30 cent cmags or 30 cent misubishi?

There's no question as to which ones I'll pick up!

Another thing I see:
You get the maxells on sale for around 30-35 cents each and these will be either hitachi or ritek. Well worth it for the hitachi,but those same exact riteks can be had for 20 cents each at Office Depot on their own brand name 8x media when on sale!

Now with the reports of cmags on some of the maxells I have been reading about from members in canada,I'll stick with the japanese hitachi maxells.
