Canadian Verbatim/TY Sales Thread

[Gary D]

@ soup:

The next time future shop has a good sale on AND you have a Staples (in your town), bring in the FS ad to staples and they will price match plus give you 10% of the savings off from the sale price.

The last time I bought verbs (100), they were $30 at FS. I brought the ad to staples.

Their regular price was $65. So I got 10% of ($65-$30=$35) or $3.50 more off. Their price then became $26.50 +PST/GST. BUT you must bring the FS ad for the price matching!

Too bad staples did not sell 20 packs of DLs.

Yes I found that out last time Future Shop had the Verbatim DLs on sale, Staples doesn't sell them, the 20 packs that is. I don't think this one was in the flyer was it? But I wished I had have remembered the price match when I bought the 2 100 pack spindles, but $20 was a good deal anyway.

What do I have?

@Soup , Chewy

I just came from Futureshop with a 100 spindle and the L and K have feet are times roman font the other ones that don't have the feet are ariel font. I didn't buy those I bought DVD-R and I have the little feet on the L and K.

The last spindle I bought had the feet and they were Mitsubichi Chemical Manufacturer ID: MCC 03RG20 What do i have now, I haven't opened the spindle and was hoping they were the same as the previous spindle. I have the litte feet. Are the DVD+R's that don't have the feet better than the -R's that have feet? I typically use -R since I have never had problems.

Soup, did you get +R or -R? can you tell me what the media ID is and if they are + or -?
thanks

[soup]

I got Verbatim Dvd+R 16X, made in Taiwan, MID=MCC 004, no feet. If you want to check out the first 2 burns out of one of the spindles, go here.

@ Soup,

so that media ID is a good one? MCC makes me believe Mitsubichi chemicals. I don't know what this spindle of -R's is it has the feet on the K, L . The last spindle 1 year ago MCC had the little feet also and thay were very good. I think I will keep these -R's and use them for data and TV captures that I author to DVD, I have 150 Sony TY's 8X and I want to keep those for me. It is like the episode of Seinfeld when Elaine was evaluating boyfriends to see if they were sponge worthy. I look at files/movies and think is it TY worthy!

[soup]

Unfortunately nowadays, we don't find that many worthy, but there are still the oldies but goodies.

Good find Dan. A warning of sorts, Future Shop has Verbatim Dvd+R DLs on sale this week for $29.99 (CDN), 20 pack spindles. The ones I checked at the local store here were all made in India, not Singapore.

[Dan]

Better deal at FS then Staples for DL, they want $20 for a 10 pack, not sure where they were made.

Darn buggers had 50 for $17 last week, now 100 for $20. I think they like messing with my head,lol.

[Gary D]

Good find Dan.. Thanks! I was down to my 2nd last spindle!

[Dan]

I've been waiting for some sales, I was down to a dozen or so, whew!

[soup]

Checked out the local store here, sold out.

[Dan]

Isn't that the way though? When the 50pcs were on sale they had none, until I saw the old stuff with the old packaging.

I managed to get 2 100pcs spindles, but not much left. Those staples brand on sale are going fast too around here.

[Dan]

Time to stock up for Christmas!

Verbatim 20-Pack 2.4X 8.5GB DVD+R Double Layer Spindle

@soup, you mentioned last time DL were all Made In India, hopefully we can find some good ones with this deal.


(Staples still has SL Verbatim on sale too so it's all good.)

[soup]

I just happen to be going to FS tomorrow Dan, thanks for the heads up on the DLs, but I will be checking where they are made.
