    princo is crappy media. why buy them when you can get good prices from online and retail stores. go to rima.com and purchase good dvd media like TAIYO YUDEN DVD-R 100 pack spindle for $55.00. those princo discs will give you problems later with not being able to be read back.

    http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk if you're in the UK.

    Of course, we don't know where you are until you update your profile with your location. Nudge, nudge...

    Hi higgins,

    I've only been here for 3 months and brought media over with me from the UK, so haven't bought any online (yet).

    I've done a fair bit of hunting around and found some really good prices at the computer meets (http://www.comtrader.com.au) - though don't remember exactly how much they were, just that they were a good price..

    Also, there's this thread which was running recently.

    Hope that helps. If you find any other good places to buy, add it to the thread I've posted the link for...

    Try Rima.com and Newegg.com. Both have good inexpensive media.

    I agree www.supermediastore.com is the best on www.digitalfaq.com.
    Purchased several times Prodisc dvd-r from them, no problem at all.
