    Well, they *do* ship to Europe, but at these prices I can't imagine why anybody would want them to. I live in Denmark (boring to visit I'd imagine, but nice place to live).

    It looks too cheap to me. If you want RITEKG05 buy branded Ridata or Traxdata, as that's the in-house brands of Ritek, and as such guaranteed to be the real deal.

    Wow!! Thats cool I got married in Denmark 17 years ago. The wife and I loved it there. :)

    This is from there site
    That is why I said I didnt think they would ship to ya :) I know it says world wide shipping at the top, but whae I read the fine print this is what it said. Your right though the shipping looks like it would cost more than the media.

    Later

    You were right. Heres the email I got from TY today

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    It looks like some manufactures are illegally using our media code. If you are looking for small volume and like to be sure it's ours, please contact our direct distributor Disc Makers. www.discmakers.com *Ultra series

    Best regards,

    There was one way to be sure. Them SOB's.. Well anyway those disks are still working good for me, but I will probably not be trying them again. :)

    I started out using comp USA (cmc code) before I knew any better. Then went to Verbatim purchased st Sam's Club because the price was right and a quality company,right? Wrong. Data Life dvd-r was also cmc media code. Alot of skipping etc. Found out I should of been getting data life PLUS. Well I went with Maxell and I haven't had a problem since. I'll stick with them until their code changes to Joe's Bar and Grill.

    The market for optical media is a real mess. But as long as there's a demand for dirt-cheap media I suspect someone will be happy to fill it.

    Just wondering, what speed was the Datalife discs that stung you? As far as I can tell Verbatim from 4x onwards seems to have gone to DatalifePlus only, though I haven't been able to find anything definitive on it.

    So, for the 50 pack of Sony is that a good deal or are they just trying to get rid of some cheap quality dvd's?

    This is not entirely true. Although some memorex dvd+r media is made by Ricohjpn and tend to be of fairly good quality, some are also made by cmc and are (like the cmc produced dvd-r) target practice clay pigion stand ins. The last batch of memorex dvd+r media I bought was made by CMC and had a less than 50% success rate. I ended up tossing most of them. Never again.

    Thanks for saving me some money, I'll stick with the GO5's, less than fifty cents each shipped and they work good for me.
