Best place to buy Taiyo Yudens?

I've had good experiences with sms.com. Most of the horror stories I see involve people who got the wrong speed disc. I.E. they ordered 8x discs and got 16x discs. If that's the case sms.com will take them back, they're reputable. There's no such thing as CMC Mag TY's, so that post is total bollocks. CMC Mag's plants are all in Taiwan and Hong Kong that I'm aware of, I don't believe they even have plants in Japan. CMC Mag did make Verb's briefly, but all Verb's nowadays will code out as quality MCC.

 

Yep, verbs I've seen are usually MCC or TYG02.

 

I'd go with Tokijin's link as he knows of reputable suppliers in America, me I stick to UK so I can keep the shipping costs down and its usually next day delivery.

@Paddymail I had been getting Verbs coding out at TYG02 for a while but they seem to have stopped selling them in England (don't know whether thats the case elsewhere) so I'v turned to unbranded TY's ATM to see how they go (much more expensive though).

Yeah, I have the unbranded TY's at the minute too... I got them when they were still around £36 per 100 pack though, they're now around £30..

I sometimes get these too... http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=219
I have used about 400 of these for PS2 games, data and films, all work great when burned with my NEC DVD writer.

As for the verbs.. I've just noticed that they don't have them at SVP anymore too... they do have some 16x verbs with the MCC code though for around £12 for 50, althougb personally I would go with the TY's for the extra £6 per 100, only 6p more per disc.

 

Uggh! Don't really go near Ritek anymore as I'v had some pretty nasty experiences with them also I ordered a batch of Verbatim 16x (MCC000***) once before by mistake and boy was that a bad move

My 1st 3 choices at SVP are;

Verbatim 8x DVD-R (TYG02) think its £6.99 for 25 STOPPED SELLING
Panasonic 8x DVD-R (TYG02) think its £7.99 for 25 OUT OF STOCK ALWAYS
Unbranded Taiyo Yuden (TYG02) £29.99 for 100 NEARLY ALWAYS IN STOCK

All of which have had the laser etched magic phrase GG000*** on the inner rim

Personally I think the whole out of stock with the Panasonic and Verbs is a ploy to shift all the more expensive TY's
