@Chewy hard to see yepper, I had to hold it to the light just a certain way to see 'em and used a 4 inch diameter magnifying glass the first time I looked.

I bought a 50 pk spindle of Sony accucore 8x dvd+r's from walmart (it was their only japanese made media). Using dvd Identifier, I get a code of YUDEN000 T02.

I have the same Sony's at the walmart near me and I usually get good scans/burns with them.

I found it and was in the neighborhood of another local walmart and they had 2 of the japanese sony disc spindles left, and about 1 dozen of the taiwan made discs, i bought the last 2 japanese they had . so does anyone know how the taiwan made ones do?
Here is a scan of the label, sorry it got ripped....

I don't know how long the above link Chewy posted will have the sale on, but I know I purchased two hundred TY02 or TY03 for 51.99 delivered, to me that's a great deal, $.26 a piece, I find that hard to beat.
