The 50 pack of 16x Verbatim dvd +/- rs are on sale for $14.98 at office max right now. At least thats what it says on the website.
Hi buck, the instant rebate is on the website but I called my local officemax a few mins ago and the guy told me there were no instant rebates on the verbatim 16x's and that they were listed at 39.99. More than likely they'll go on sale this sunday when the ads are released. I'm going to call another officemax to find out more.
Jasper44, thanks for the info. I know many here, including myself, appreciate you sharing this info. Please continue posting sales when you can! I'll be parked at Office Max tomorrow morning. I gotta get me some Verbs.
I just read the ads for Sunday (get them on Saturday via Washington Post), OD has the 100-pk (+/-), regular $59.99 for $34.99. Doesn't say anything about it being a mail-in rebate. Best Buy has the Sony +/- 50-pk for $14.99. They also have Verbatim +R 30-pk LightScribe discs for $24.99. Someone earlier in the thread mentioned the 1GB flash drive. Best Buy has the 1GB USB 2.0 drive (made by PNY) regular price of $109.99, minus $60.00 instant rebate and $10.00 mail-in rebate for a net price of $39.99. Noticed a 1GB one in Costco the other day for $46.00. OD has a 2GB Cruzer brand for $69.99 after $34.00 instant rebate and $12.00 mail-in rebate.
Hi guys, I know that some of the Sony 8x DVD+R's are MIJ and MID Yuden. But apparently the the 16x's that will be going on sale tomorrow via BB aren't MIDed Yuden but instead SONY16D1....(videohelp.com). What class of media is SONY16D1? I'm certain that the 50pk Sony 16x DVD+R spindle going on sale at BB tomorrow are MIJ, but I don't think they are Yuden's. Do you guys have any info on the SONY16D1 MID?
Okay I think I've figured this out a bit. Correcting me if I'm wrong. 1ST CLASS MEDIA Almost flawless burns with 95-100% reliable results: PVC = Pioneer (Japan) = (-R)(-RW) ... media is no longer made MXLRG0x = Maxell (Japan) = (-R)(-RW) YUDENT, TYG0x = Taiyo Yuden (Japan) = (-R)(+R) MCC, MKM = Mitsubishi Chemicals (Singapore/Taiwan) = (-R)(-RW)(+R)(+RW) TDK, TTG0x, TTH0x = TDK Corp (Taiwan/Japan) = (-R)(-RW) [bold]SONY0xD = Sony (Japan/Taiwan) = (-R)(-RW)[/bold] SONY16D1 <--- Is this the same as the Sony (Japan/Taiwan) listed in bold. If so, then tomorrow's BB sale of the 16x 50 pk spindle should be 1st class media. Right? Hmmm...now that I think about it the bold letters doesn't list (+R) media, so maybe this may not be right.
if you get the sony (+) mij.. they will be first class media.. they will code out to Taiyo Yuden. get rid of the tdk.. doc will confirm that.
what brand is it? compusa's own house brand...? if that's the case, then NO, save your $20 and get some GOOD media...so many 50-packs of GOOD MEDIA is available for $14.99 as this thread implies...in THIS particular case, 100 spindle for 20 bucks IS NOT A GOOD BUY if it's the compusa house brand dvds... just lettin ya know, before it's too late... docTY~ p.s. @thelox, right on there...TDK does NOT belong in 1st class media IN MY OPINION, i just had to laugh when i saw someone actually POST that up...
my bad..lol hahahaha yeah, i truly despise TDK's own manufactured media, but, hey, that's just ME...not like i've ever helped ANYONE get back to burning successfully again once they got rid of the "crap media" that i suggest... docTY~~ btw, for 16x rated media, updated FIRMWARE for your drive is of the UTMOST importance, without it, you'll be up the creek without a paddle~
A friend of mines bought some of those Compusa disc and I think the media code was princo and they weren't that good at all. The backups he made all skipped. He's actually going buy the officemax brand disc over the verbatims tomarrow. Anyway I'll pick up another spindle of verbs. My lightscribe drive will be here this week so I'll probably pick up that 30 pack too.
if they are the mijs.. they still to average to the same price that the sale at best buy is... 80 pack for 14.99... just take your pick
yeah thoses will code out as Taiyo Yuden TYGO2s so grab them heres a great deal 300 pack of Taiyo Yudens DVD-R 4x(but there 8x most the time}for 81.00 thats with free shipping and no tax depending where you live. http://supermediastore.com/taiyo-yuden-4x-dvd-r-media-silver-matte-spindles-200-tape-wrap1.html
tmfloria: Great link on those playos. All those remarks were around the thanksgiving day after sale. I wander if those yahoos got their $15 rebate, LOL Gins: I agree with the rest about those Comp USA discs. $20 a hundred pack-risky? That's why I keep an eye out on Office Depots brand media sale. They have been as low as 20 cents each in a special buy1/get 2 free promos. The 8x speed are riteks-g-05 and R-03. The plus 16x are Ricohjpn-r03. My benqs love those OD R-03's!
A few years back I had a spindle of CompUSA CD-RW's. Those lasted a few months. I'll never buy ANYTHING with CompUSA's name on it!
Just came back from BB with a 50pk of Sony DVD+R for 14.99.They are TY's.YUDEN000,TO2's!!! Good Deal.
