MAXELL 4X DVD +R and -R 10-pack $19.97 at Walmart.com

[ebenton]

Walmart.com has 4X Maxell DVD +R and DVD-R on sale for $19.97 for a 10-pack with jewel cases.
I have seen the Maxell 4X DVD +R 10-packs in the Wal-Mart stores, but I have never seen the DVD-R 4X disks. DVD-R 2X yes, but 4X no.

When it is true MXL, you bet it is a REALLY good deal.

This is sure a fricken deal as I once bought a 5 pack of pioneer dvd-rs for $28

thanks for the links! Best deal yet for 4x dvd-r maxell

If you could get them on a 15- or 25-disk spindle, the price per disk would be cheaper. I don't need any more damn jewel cases. I have boxes full of them already.
But $2 each for true 4X Maxell IS a good deal, even if you do have to put up with the damn jewel cases.

They are also sold at my local walmart. Well local is a bad choice of words. I live in the woods so anything local may not be the same for me as others... its in another state. A state with no sales tax. So they maybe sold at other non online walmarts. Also at a local staples they are having a sale for 10 packs of maxtell for 9.98 or close. Might just be a local sale but worth checking out.

The only thing Staples.com shows for Maxells is a 5-pack for $20.99. The +Rs are 2.4X and the -Rs are 2X. If your local Staples is selling 4X Maxell 10-packs for $9.98, I would buy as many as I could.
However, since hardly anybody, especially Staples, beats Wal-Mart prices by even a little bit, let alone half the price, I kind of doubt that what you saw were 4X Maxell. *Maybe* 2X or 2.4X Maxell, but that would be 1/4 the price of their website. More likely you saw Memorex. They both have "M" and "x" in their names.

[K(c)offee]

You might be right on the staples brand. I was going off memory and my mind does not remember name brands or any sort of name well. So your more then likely right.

@K(c)offee;
I was kind of hoping you were right, somehow. That's why I checked the Staples.com website. I have a Staples a few miles away, and I was going to run out there and buy out the store if it was true.

[K(c)offee]

LOL sorry to give you false hope and joy. Anyway are memorex DVDs good enough to get for about a doller each? I was thinking of getting a few boxes of them. Seemed like a good deal for around a doller each with cases. I dont have a box full of them so i find the case part helpful.

[MOVIEGEEK]

The Memorex 4x +R are made by Ricoh,if you don't need jewel cases BestBuy has a 50pk for $50 and CompUSA has 25pk for $25.
@ebenton,
Are Maxell +R made by TY? You can send me all your jewel cases.

[ebenton]

@MOVIEGEEK;
I have never bought 4X Maxell DVDs before. They've always been too expensive. Even at Walmart, they were about $25.00 for a 10-pack before, which was just a little bit more than I was willing to spend. Now I just have to find the time to stop there and buy some. I might order the -Rs from Walmart.com, since I can't seem to find the 4X DVD-R Maxells at either of the two Walmart Supercenters in my area.
If you really want the jewel cases, let me know. I will count them and see how many I have and a keep a handful and send you the rest at the cheapest postage I can buy. I hate to just throw them away, but I don't have much use for them, either.

[ebenton]

I lied. I did have some Maxell 4X DVD +R disks. The manufacturer's code for them reads RICOHJPNR01.

Well when you burn over 200 Memorex 4X DVD-R's at $1 a piece with no problems @ 4X, I don't see what the good deal is with these Maxells if the end result (playing perfectly in DVD-ROM and stand alone players) is the same!

What ?? ... you don't know anybody who could use them ?

Send them to me ... I have a use for them. I'm running out of Jewel cases

I'm down to about 30 empty ones ... LOL

I buy 200-packs of RITEKG04 for less than $1 each. But when quality is important, $2 for a MXLRG01 or MXLRG02 is money well spent.

@fslove;
If you would post a list of the media and the prices about which you deem worthy of being notified, I will, in the future, make sure that I don't post anything about any sales on media that don't meet your requirements.

Bits are bits, so I would like to know how Maxell's MXL Discs can enhance bits (and improve upon video/audio quality) over others like Memorex or other brand name discs that can be had for $1 a piece. If a $1 a piece brand name can burn perfectly and a $2 MXL does so as well (and both have perfect burn all the time), what makes the MXL so much better to warrant the doubling of price?

[K(c)offee]

I think its more of a safety net things. They know the 2 doller ones will burn 100% of the time. No doubt at all. No testing needed after doing so. While they dont trust the doller ones 100% of the time and would need to test the results. I assume I could be wrong.

[ebenton]

I just stopped off at Office Dept. They are selling 15-pack spindles of Maxell 4X DVD-R and 4X DVD+R for $26.97. That's $1.80 per disk with no jewel cases, which is cheaper than Wal-Mart's $2.00 per disk in jewel cases. Maybe about the same if you figure 20 cents for a jewel case.
I bought one 15-pack of each.
The 4X Maxell DVD-R have media code of: MXLRG02
The 4X Maxell DVD+R have media code of: RICOHJPNR01
