Thanks, just picked up some.

There were 2 different types at the Staples I was at.
One did not have the free pen with it. Those tubs did not have any 'Made In' note on them that I could find.

The other tub did have the pen included with it. Those were marked 'Made in Japan' on the bar code label. That's what I bought.
Won't be able to check the media code until tonight, but I'm pretty confident it will be MXL or TY's given the made in Japan logo.

That is the first time I have seen the MXL03s. Looks like I might have to open up all my packs to see what I got.

Key word... "Instore"
Just spent half an hour trying to order online. No deal.
Have a laugh on me.

Well at least this got a better response over here than over at SlickDeals where I also posted this. I got reemed there "This isn't really a good deal because the discs cost too much." I should have skipped posting over there and just stuck with the real audience.
