Weekly Sales starting 1-1-06

Kinda wondering where our sales guys were. Hadn't seen anything yet. I was interested in Best Buy myself.

 

All I could come across is Staple's ad:

HP- regular dvd media 50 pack spindle for $14.94
HP lightscribe: 25 pack spindle for $17.94

Hopefully bestbuy or office depot has something better!

 

Thanks saugmon.

I am some what patiently waiting for the Sony 50 packs to go on sale again. That's about the last of the local Taiyo Yuden media around me. Plus I have some gift cards burning a hole in my pocket.

 

Best Buy is going to have the Fuji's 50 pack for $14.99 + tax
Office Max is having the Dual-Layer Verbatim 10 disk pack for $19.99 + tax.

Most of the Fuji's at the Best Buy near my area are now Made in Taiwan. No more Made in Japan Tayo Yuden disks :-(

 

I figured as much. Same Taiwan Fuji's here in the midwest.

 

Those fuji's are the same way here fljoe. Made in taiwan on all their different quantity batches, UGGH! If they checked out as ritek-r03 then those should be pretty good.

My local staple's is sitting on the motherload of Japanese fuji's in the 30 pack spindles. I'm still waiting for those to go on sale.

 

i'm waiting for the pretty colored discs Fuji 30-pack @ Staples myself...those were the ONLY ones available locally for me that were Taiyo Yuden discs...it's a shame that this is so widespread...wish another shipment from Japan would come in for 2006~, that would make it a good beginning of a new year~

docTY~

 

Here's a good deal at newegg.com on some ridata +8x: spindle of 100 +8x for $26.99 including FREE shipping!!! Should be Ritek-R03

Office Depot is offering Maxell +/-R 50 pack for $14.99 each. They are regularly $39.99 a pack. I've used them before and they were pretty good. I still have 2 packs of the +R's that I bought during the last sale.

 

Fuji MIJ's are really hard to find here in NC now. Bj's has been picked clean by someone who shall remain nameless, Best buy only has the MIT's, so I am almost afraid to say that this era has passed into the sunset. Supermediastore.com here I come.
Does anyone know what the new Office Max 16X made in Taiwan DVD's code out to? Their previous manufacturer for the 8X was in India and they were pathetic.

 

Good Luck finding 50 Pack MIJ Fujis in Best Buy. Arghhh!
However, remember this:If you have a Local Best Buy that carries the Fuji Colored 30 packs for $9.99, Staples WILL Price Match them 110%.
My Local Staples has Plenty of MIJ Colored 30 packs of Fujis.

 

neodave- Me Too !recieved many BestBuy Gift cards & have beeb brainstorming on what to buy ? Well okay I'll confess not really a brainstorm more Of a brain-light drizzle ! LOL! but you get the picture! Could go for the fuji's if they have MIJ's this time ! Or Sony MIJ's if same price break! will check ad in paper& online tomorrow if they're open may go see!

tsquare43- they are good like Maxell , But if your not hung up on a name brand OFFICEDEPOTS own DVD Media atleast the 8 X stuff is or atleast was ritek Like the maxells & OD often has a buy one get 2 free sale on their media so you can get more for less or atleast the same price ! You probably already know this just added it in incase you did.nt Happy Burning & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

bunnyrip- lastime they put the fUJI's on sale here 100Pks. they were all MIT =TAIWAN but they did have the 8x Sony in DVD+R & DVD-R for same price 2 x 50 ct. tubs & these were MIJ's = TAIYO YUDEN but they code out as SONY atl;east the DVD-R's Do! Just a thought ! incase they have them on sale too! Happy Burning ! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

fljoe- maybe we should sign a pettition to FUJI to ask them to start using the taiyo yuden company as a OEM again ?

 

People, I just went on a scavenger hunt in my area & ALL the Fuji 50 packs at Best Buy are MITs.Both formats, DVD-R & DVD+R. Arghh! There are still those Fuji MIJ Colored 30 packs for $9.99. Staples will price match Best Buy 110%,So you CAN get these for $9.49 for 30 TYs if you can find them. Not the best week for media sales. Oh well, maybe next week.

These discs work better than good, they might only support 6X and 8X but DVD Decrypter will burn them lower too, and even when they burn at 6X for me(Alcohol 120%, Nero), I get NO errors ever, no coasters so far, I've burnt about 40 PS2 games, 10 data discs(DivX) at a full 8X and about 10 DVD movies in Nero at 6X and they all work and read perfectly.

 

Has ANYONE bought any of those New Fuji MITs? The ones that are 16x? What to they code as? I may buy some since that's all that seems available now. BUT, would like to know who makes those first. If they're RITEK, that would be acceptable. I don't know who makes these. Anyone?

 

I don't think the 16x are Ritek. Maybe Philips/CMC...I believe that is what kivory666 had said the new dye was. Not worth it in my opinion. I'm holding out for the Ty's somewhere.
