yes What they said and more ! Especially Advertising cost a they Have mentioned ! Branded /retail Media Sony, ,Maxell , Ecet... Advertises on Radio , Print, TV ect... Which means They Have to factor in expense To the Medias Cost! Where as Brands that are sold mainly in bulk or Wholesale Like Taiyo yudens May rely mainly On their Reputation Of Quality & Word of Mouth ! and or Only advertise mainly through Their online outlets Like Supermediastore.com , meritline .com, Rima.com ect...Also Media bought online /wholesale /in bulk ect... usually has a lower production cost because although it s made buy a quality Manufacturer ,Taiyo Yuden , Verbatim , Ritek, Ricohjpn ect... it will often not be marked on the label surface of the disc as to the actual Brand - Like retail Disc are ! as well as the Packaging will tend to be plain and nondescript as well ! no Fancy Schmancey Cellophane wrappers & pretty colored paper sleeves around the Spindles ! Just a smallheneric label opr maybe none at all , So your Buying in bulk, With lower production cost , lower Advertising cost lower overhead as the others have mentioned before ! adds up to lower cost per disc ! Also Often you do not pay sales tax when buying online as opposed to local retailers !and As They have said Some media Like Taiyo Yuden isn't sold directly under their own brand name( Brand labelled) like retail media ! & or It Maybe found Rebranded /Oem'ed under another name like The MIJ Sony/taiyo Yudens or The MIJ Fuji's /Taiyo yudens ... Also Don't Pay the Inflated Regular Prices for retail media wait for yhe sales !!!!!
