Which DVDR to get at Staples?

[Michelle]

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...

Probably the best way to play it is to check out the online Staples ad on Sunday mornings at Staples.com

You could just wait them out for a sale (or whatever else tickles your fancy).
You won't have to wait for long, a few weeks at most.

I just noticed that the coupon is only good for online and phone orders.
