Well, the only thing good I see is Best Buy has those 10 pack spindles of Verbatim Dual Layer DVD+R for $19.99! Oh, they also have Memosux 50 packs for $14.99 too! LOL. Those Verb Dual Layers are Sweet Though! 2 bucks each! Stock Up! Maybe there will be some good deals somewhere else, but this one IS Good.
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.

BB had a 2 spindle online order limit for the DL verbs mentioned above by bunnyrip. Shipping is a deal killer at nearly $5 per spindle if you live close enough to pick them up in-store.

I guess I better head on over and sift through the spindles. That's really not a bad price for MIT's either in the +R 8x if that is what is on sale. Still very good media.

@laddyboy,
The Best Buy Sale on Verb Dual Layers is an In Store Sale.You can buy as many as you like in the store. I don't know about shipping, I never order from Best Buy Online. But, even with 5 bucks shipping, it's a good deal for these High Qulity Verb Dual Layers.

@movies27
If the 100's are DVD+R's 8x you will get good media whether it's MIJ or MIT.
I don't know about the DVD-R's as I have never used them.
Cheers.

Yes, bunnyrip, I'm talking about the online ordering only. You can order online and pickup in store avoiding the shipping. That was my point. At 7am est this Sunday am there was a 2 spindle limit on online orders even for in-store pickup. Ordering online is sometimes preferable since you don't have to be there when the store opens to get an item that they may run out of in a short period of time. I've gone in when the store opens before and still not gotten what I wanted because people ahead of me had already taken everything. It's not uncommon for there to be 50-100 hundred people waiting to get into BB on a Sunday am. Adding another $5 per spindle for delivery isn't too bad I guess if you live a distance away.

There is no limit when you purchase in store. If you go and find that they are out, get a raincheck on a ridiculous amount. What you can do then is buy a little at a time once stock becomes available. I've done this the last 2 times they've had this sale.(I'd get a raincheck for 30 pks and pick up 5pks or more every 1 to 2 weeks until my raincheck amount was met).
What is also good about going in store rather than ordering online for in store pickup is that you can use coupons as well.(I get 10% to 12% off coupons by mail almost every week).

The Verb +R DLs are $24.99 at Newegg with free shipping today. I don't remember if Newegg charges tax or not.

Kmart has the Sony 25 packs for $8.99. Not a stellar deal but not bad if you need some. I remember the 25 packs being difficult to find a MIJ though.

@ 9mmruger1..i just picked up the maxell 100 pack dvd-r(i always get these) & the code is RITEkG05 as usual :) :)...but however i wouldnt recommend the DVD+R because they were all different colors & crap & they looked nothing like the normal maxell DVD+R i normally see..so if anyone picks up a pack let me know what the code is.

I found a pack of the Maxell at OD that were MIJ. My question is the packaging was different and the speed rating was 8x. The other packages that were MIT were rated at 16x. Before I pop the wrapper which ones should be better. I am new to this site and value any feedback.

the MIJ 8x Maxells are VERY good quality media, made by Hitachi...i would suggest you KEEP THOSE and use them over the 16x rated MIT. :)
good luck~

The 8x MIJ Maxell discs are MXL/Hitachi while the 16x MIT probably are Ricohjpn .. Maxell 8x MIT are usually Ritek
In this instance, the MIJ are just a tick better than the Ricohjpn .. It is a win-win situation My BenQ DW1640 likes the MIJ more while my stand alone LiteOn LVW5005 recorders like the Ricohjpn more ...
the MXL/Hitaxhi discs smell the best though

There is a good deal from newegg.com. 100 16x DVD+R pack for $19.99 after mail in rebate.
My Benq 1604 does not work with Memorex DVD+R DL at all. I had to return them to OD. I think the memorex is made by RITEK. Where is RITEK? Japan, Taiwan, China? How is quality from RITEK?
Does any one have Benq 1640 and use the RiDATA 16x DVD+R? How do they go? Does it work at 16x speed with a positive result? I ordered one from Newegg.com. If the quality is bad, I can refuse to accept the shippment without penalty charge, according to newegg staff. That's why I need to find out from here.
Does RiDATA DVD+R made by RITEK?

Ritek is a TAIWANESE company, IN TAIWAN, and Ridata happens to be Ritek's OWN BRANDED COMPANY... :)
quality on Ritek is generally decent, but many people will argue whether Ritek is GOOD or BAD depending on their own experiences with said media...Ritek has been very good for me personally, the only Riteks' i've used happen to be the 8x DVD-R Ridata Ritek ones...from over 2 years ago..and they are JUST FINE on playback and quality scans to this day~ others have horror stories on Ritek discs, but i PERSONALLY have not encountered these issues...
i haven't used ANY Ritek 16x DVD+R discs yet, and i probably never will... 90% of all my backups are on Taiyo Yuden discs...the remaining 10% is Verbatim dvd+r/ DVD+R DL~ (single layer made in taiwan, dual layer made in singapore)
i think MOST of the people here that actually have the benq 1640 (i have 2 of them myself) will use either Verbatim 16x DVD+R or just stick with 8x DVD+R discs...with the quality of the 16x DVD+R MCC004s, very few will look elsewhere if they insist on 16x rated discs...those Verbs are FREQUENTLY on sale locally, just gotta keep your eyes open for them...(ie. bestbuys, staples, compusa, officedepot, officemax, etc)
