Verbatim 50 packs, 8x -R or +R, $19.99, shipped free.


The Fuji TY's for $20 per 100 beats all deals, although Amazon just had the Ritek RICOHJPN R01 +Rs for $29.99 per 100, shipped free.

Has anyone bought these? What media id are they?

Good question. If they're TYG01 DVD-R then that's a decent deal. If they're Ritek G03, then not so good :P

look at the package: "Japan" = TY and "Taiwan" = Ritek.

I got (2) 50 spindles of MAXELL DVD-R, MADE IN JAPAN from OFFICE DEPOT.
media code is MXL RG02 which is just as good as TY.
I had to go through the shelf to find the MADE IN JAPAN spindles. Most of the spindles were MADE IN TAIWAN.

Yep. If you go with the Japan media you'll get good stuff

Houston Office Depot has +R's from Taiwan and -R's from Japan, both for 19.97/50 pack on a spindle, until 12/4, 4x max speed. Didn't buy any 'cuz I'm up to my ears, but fyi anyway.

They are not fake Maxell DVD-R just because they are ritekGO4. Apparently Maxell chooses to let Ritek manufacture some of their DVD MEDIA.

DVD-R, ok, in store they had 4 Japan packs and 3 Taiwan packs. -BTW: the yellow on the Tawain packs was a brighter shade of yellow.
Anyway, I bought the Japan ones- they are MXL RG02 4X.
So I also placed an order online, and I got all gold topped 8x Japan MXL RG03!! Also when ordering online there are $10 of $50, and $20 off $100 coupons around-- just google for the codes.
So the best deal is get 5 packs @ $19.99 and a pack of 18 cent staples, then use the $20 off 100 coupon and you have 250 discs for $80+tax.
If the ones you get aren't japan just return them... or wait a week or two to return them and the store may have the 8x Japan ones in stock by then.
FYI: the 8x do say "8x" on them.

ok, codes the one I used expires today, so hyurry or search for another:
$20 off $100 code: 73418862 exp. 11/30/2004
or $10 off $50 code: 23896353 exp. 12/31/2004

Damn. Wish I'd known there were two types. I thought I'd found a good deal with those O.D. 15-packs for 5 bucks, so I picked up several spindles. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th discs out of the first spindle either froze up when played (like some cheap-ass no-name) or wouldn't finalize when burned with Nero or Decrypter. Must have been the Taiwanese lot, I guess. Took them back.
