Taiyo Yuden 4x DVD-R for under $3 in Japan

[Kennyshin]

I found a link from dru500a at DVDplusRW forum who is in Japan now.

From the linked page, I can read Taiyo Yuden has 4x DVD-R and the price is 3,199 Yen per 10-pack. That's about US$2.6-2.7 per disk. 4x DVD-R from RADIUS but 2,299 Yen per 5-pack. 4x DVD-R from Pioneer also more expensive than Taiyo Yuden.

More direct link is here.
