I picked 2-100 packs of the Sony's +R's at Staples. They code out as 1st class media. Thinking about getting another pack today.

most the time Maxell will code out as Ricoh which is very good stuff
I just got 2 packs of them from Office Depot with a price match and they were CMC MAG.M01. I was less than happy, but so far at least I haven't had a burn error yet. Still for some reason the burns look faded if that makes sense. I don't think I'll be buy anymore Maxell discs since you don't know what you'll get.

Maxell media that is RICOHJPN is EASY to spot. It has "/RT" in the part number.

The only reason I picked up those Maxells was because they had MIJ printed on them. I thought that since the cake boxes were so dusty that they must have been manufactured when the company cared about what they put in the box .. .. .. . (The price helped too.)

Made in Japan Maxell discs code as MXLRG01, MXLRG02, MXLRG03, MXLRG04, MAXELL001, MAXELL002 OR MAXELL003 and are made by Maxell/Hitachi in Japan.
Since Pioneer no longer makes discs, the Maxell/Hitachi discs are the only other discs that have come out of Japan (besides TY, of course) in a number of years.

I remember those Maxell yellowtops. Burned all the MIJ I could find!! Last stock I could get 2 years ago was at a few Walgreens stores & you bet I looked for MIJ on the box!!

Are you going to burn them all someday or leave them blank? If I found a batch in my home (not likely) I'd burn them!!

NOW that's not the truth. :P You received one in the mail a few weeks ago from a loved admirer. hehehe. Did you use it or just set it on the shelf?? Just curious??
Are you guys gonna start another thread with the upcoming sales?? I'm afraid I missed the OD discs. Oh well there's always other sales right??

I still think you should put that baby on eBay and let someone else have it. :) For some reason your setup just doesn't like that drive. If you do (put it on eBay) I would get one of the Lite-on LH-20A1S (sata) or the Pioneer 112D/Pioneer 212D (sata). As you know I have the Pioneer 112D (flashed to DVR-112L) and recently added the LH-20A1S because Newegg.com tempted me with a $28.99 deal and FREE shipping. DANG Newegg........hehehe. JM2C......take or leave it. :D
Oh btw BOTH of the new drives perform spectacularly!! :D
....gm
OK somebody give me the sales early so I can get rigged up for some power buying. hehehe. :P

Just looked those up and it looks like Plextor isn't trying to get rich off one drive any more. :) I only read one review at CNET I think and they seemed to like the unit. I found them as low as $76 delivered but the online company was out right now. :D Good luck with whatever you decide to do!!
