US sale thread

[NightTran]

I havent seen any verbatims 8X at sams since 2/13/2006.

At that time I bought the last 2 spools of 100 that they had never saw anything but the 16 X since until today.

I dont know if its just the one by me or if all of them have them but they are not lasting at that price.
There were only 4 case flats left tonight. I grabbed 2 of them, I amy go back tomorrow and see if that there are any left. And keep them stocked since I have not had the best results with the 16X discs.

my Sam club have 1000's of 8x

WOW...Sony's are on sale at Best Buy, Office Depot, and Staples all in the same week (3/18-3/24). Sony's quality has been "so-so" lately (have to reduce file size below 4400mb for my burns), but this is still suprising that three company's have them on sale.

unless the user truly knows "what's up", they have no clue that the sonys quality has been iffy, heck, I saw a guy stocking up on memorex dvd's that were on sale today.....
took staples add to a sears a few burbs away and snagged the last 3/50 spindles of sony dvd+r 1x-8x mij's they had, $46.23 for 150 disks, not too shabby

best buy and staples has 100/pk sony for $25

[beachbumm33]

saw that metrock, just wish they were MIJ TY's!!! That would be a steal!

Crap+Crap = Crap, again!

I laugh.. because this maybe the ONLY area I have hard "hard Knocks" lately!
Sony I have bought a lot recently! The 25 packs and the 50 packs of +R and every damn one have been great quality. The Verbs were So-Sos not BAD but one batch of Sony were better than a batch of Verb... Chewy says it happens one in a while. As for the man Stocking memorex... he's buying CRAP, the +R and the -R I bought recently had the CMC code on them and they really SUCKED A$$. I kid you not.
he sony + r 1x - 8 x have been really great recently...
But just wait until they THINK they can save money like TDK and let CMC manufacture those for them.. they'll suck also. (The wal-mart in Clayton, GA told me they quit carring Verbatim cause no one bought them.. they went for the LOWER priced ones... jeez-zuuuz)
Maybe I need to stock pile them even when I don't need them.. I have having a coaster cake stack...
Ohh and if you look around.. a manager at a Radio Shack recently gave me a Sony 25 pack of DVD+R ($19.99) for a pack of TDK +R once I complained how bad the quality was .. I was getting crappy burn after crappy burn from them, and them one of the clerks told him that he had the same problem from the TDKs and he ordered me new Sony's I have to wait 3 weeks but I was happy I wasn't stuck with crap again.

Hey if you are hording for the next end of the world.. sell me a few.. 800 disk are ALOT, if my research and math do me justice, you're burner will burn out when you about 200 - 300 disk in.
Peace to you man.....

Ive been searching around the burbs in my area and alllllll of the Sears stores I have gone into have Sony 1x-8x MIJ's (TY02 code), just cleaned another one out today, 6-50 disk spindles. Using the weekly sale adds for price matching I got these disks for $88.37 tax included. Think I'm done for now, or at least I think I am, since I've stockpiled 800 of them.

Ive tried the 25 packs of Sony MIJ's in the recent past, but without the same quality of the 50 packs.

MIT's...Ive had good luck with those too, that's what I started out burning with. My lite-on shw-160p6s is on approximately its 300th burn and still producin good burns, for now, lol, , got another burner just like it stashed away, a hp crossflashed to a lite on installed and a lg 4166b hangin around too. Sittin ok!!!
Too bad ya dont have a sears store within reach of ya Jake!

[JakeBlues]

*sniffs...*
Yeah too bad...
But dang.. yeah gotta love them Sony's!
I love living in the rural mtns of NC.. No crime, My wife and daughter can walk down the street with
no worries about being robbed or bothered.... I left my door of my home unlocked for 2 1/2 years when I came and went (baby changed that), there are SO many great things about living in BFE...
But I must admit... I miss the city where I had circuit city on one corner, I could walk across the street to Best Buy.... Sam's club shared a parking lot with them.. wal-mart across the street and a MALL on oppsite corner...(they had a sears!)
But look at where I live... I can't complain in the long run.. or God may punish me. heh
You should see that hill beyond the fence covered with pumpkins in the fall.. like HUGE, sometimes 100 lbs or better, sun rises about 4 trees to the left where you see them closest to my jeep, painting the sky and tree line and grassy hills in wonderful colors of red, purple, yellow, orange.. flowing unto the whiteness of the snow, looks like its a river of just flowing colors... makes it all worth wild.

DL verbs on sale at Office Max, 10 pack for $15 dollars.

50 pack single layer Verbs on sale for $16 dollars.

I bought those DL Verbs the other day. First time I ever bought Verbs. (I usually buy Sony). Anyways, I noticed they're made in Singapore, is this usually where Verb DL's are made? Or should I be looking for other manuf. country's like Taiwan or Japan? I know Verb DL's are the best for dual layer burns, I just wanna make sure I bought the right ones.
Thanks.
