i just recently bought a 100pk of them from newegg. the only reason i bought them was cuz, they were on sale and had a mail in rebate with free shipping. i was hopin they were made in japan, but they werent, they were made in tawain. so far ive burnt about 20 of them, music and data and have had no problems. they have played on many cd players with no problems with the exception, they do not work on my bose wave cd player.
