I was at the store earlier, and there's a $25 instant rebate, but they're offering them on the website, too. I got two packs.

o.0 16x discs... those are pieces of cr@p. If you can find the Memorex 8x's than buy all you like :)

Yeah but the reviews for DVD+R 8x are better. That's what I just stocked up on the other day.

Hm. I initially had a 10pk of these same discs, and haven't had a problem. Everyone of them has worked fine.

Maybe I've just been the exception?

Yeah, you were :) I mean, I never buy 16x because it is too expensive... but no wonder they are on sale :P

Memorex is fine, unlike the assumption that Memorex is a bad brand... if you look at that media ID site... about half of Memorex's MID's are within first and second class. I use the DVD+R 8x, which you can get a 30 pack at Wal-Mart for $15, those are Riteks, much better than whatever MID the 16x are.

A friend said that newegg is selling a 100pk for 21.99 - also. I had a $25 gift certificate to best buy, so it was too good to pass up.

100 pack of Maxell 8x DVD-R at Office Depot for $29.99 until 1/14.

I have been using these burning at 4x with no problems at all.

Hey man. Are you sure it's Maxell's at Office Depot and not Memorex? I see those in Memorex for that price, but not the Maxell's. Thanks!

Look under advertised specials on the website. I think the link is toward the bottom right of thier home page. You can also do a search in advertised specials and just type maxell. The last Maxell 50 pack I bought of these were actually RITEKG05's but I used the entire pack with zero coasters.
