I have a $25 gift certificate for Staples. The only thing I can think of using it for is DVD media. Most of their media is way overpriced at around $2 a disc. They do have some at $1 a disc. I know that's still a lot but it isn't costing me anything.
The best choices seem to be Maxell, Sony and TDK. I have no idea what flavor of the day I would get with any of these brands.
Any suggestions on what to get?

Get Maxell if it says "Japan" on the package
Those are Taiyo Yuden. The "Taiwan" ones are Ritek and are best avoided if possible

Yeah, they are cause I bought some. They were $10 for 15... that was a sale I think.

All three worked well for me - get at least 4x media...8x if your burner supports it.
-
better save that gift certificate for sth else
get sth else at staples and get your media from the net at much better prices...
that's my 2 cents...With all due respect... and there is respect... -

You won't have to wait for long, a few weeks at most. -

And that goes for the Staples 25 pack -R also!
I bought a pack but did not open it yet. I've tried a few different brands, including sony, tdk, imation, teon, memorex and optimum. Only ones I had problems with, three coasters, were the memorex!
