Not a good sign for us Canucks that Staples is looking/gotten an Indian suppliers.

If the DL Verbs MII are sh!t, what will these be like?

[Chewy]

like cmc mag, mbi has consistency problems

they might burn better

Stay tuned to the Disc Quality Scan Thread because you know I am going to try them out. These were the last two spindles of Dvd+R that my store here had but there were some Dvd-Rs left.

I purchased some MBIPG101 R04 from Staples awhile back, Imation I believe. Results weren't bad considering the media.
