DO NOT BUY DVD from GoldenROMonline.com

[nguyem2]

Hello all,
I ordered 200 DVDs 'REAL' 2x from GoldenROMonline.com.
The process very slow, the disc are not "2x" as advertise !!!
Same with me, some of my friend get the same problem with DVDs 4x (?) It is record only 2x. We email to them many time but nothing back.
So be careful. DO NOT BUY anything from them.
Best regard!

why paying more for 'REAL' 2x when lot of 1X will burn at 2X anyway (ie: ritek)

I guess I'm lucky. I ordered 50 2x white top printables and got Sony 2x's
No tracking info was sent but I got the order as fast as any other vendor.

Sorry to hear you and your friend had problems

Hi soundforbjt,
Where you got for Sony 2x?
I am order from Rima.com with 1x but actual burn at 2x like Vric said.
Best Regard.

Because that requires hacking your drive's firmware, and at least 50% of the time, it'll screw up your drive's other functions such as RELIABLE 2x burns, CD writing, and DVD-RW writing (especially this one). If you're gonna give out that advice, be sure to include that little bit of key info.

My hacked 103 drive is now hosed in terms of CD and DV-RW functionality. Sure, some discs MAY burn GOOD 2x, but not usually, and not worth the price.

We're seeing less and less firmware hackers because of the effects these days.

Return them. And if purchased with credit card, file a chargeback if the company refuses to issue a full refund. Bait-n-switch not allowed in the USA.

I've done this twice in the past 2 years from dealers advertising one DVD-R and sending me some crap instead. esbuy.com lost my support because they did that once. Americal.com lost my DVDR-purchasing support because of the same issue. Sending something other than what I wanted.

I ordered them from GoldenRomonline.com. They didn't say on the website that they were Sony's, but that's what i received.
