I bought their DVD-R 2x media (generic) for $105.00 (free shipping) for 100 pc. It took several days for them to process my order and begin shipping to me. Since I am in Georgia, it took 5 days to get it from California. That's fine, it was inexpensive, I can wait. The problem is, the darn things are sooooooo cheap (POS -- as in poor quality) I could not read these discs after burning to them. I tried several and at different speeds and on different computers with different DVD readers -- even the same writer could not read the disc after burning it. Also, I could see sheer through it! I could easily watch TV with a purple-ish tint to it. I've email them and hopefully they can give me suggestions on how to make this work or at least help me replace the remaining discs with something of better quality. Their generic stuff SUCKS! My Pioneer 525 DVD player will play a disc but not very well (skips a lot, jumpy at times).

I have a Sony 500AX. No problem with Memorex or Verbatim +R discs.

I bought from this site:

I am working on a webpage with information about my DVD adventures.

Good looking out....i had a similar expereicne with supermediastore.com when I bought their generic house media. Boy did it suck. Thankfully, i have movies or backups that will only take up like 2-3 gbs, i can burn them successfully with supermedias, u can try that i guess.
