Circuit City has the TDK 25pks of +R or -R for $8. So far I have had zero problems with the + or - TDK 25packs.
There's also a 50pk of Staples branded discs at $8 (see other thread on this). So far, I have had 5 succesful burns and one that stopped at 2/3rds of the way proclaming the disc is full. The visible writeable area of the disc is not full. It won't record any more but it was finalized and can play fine on a stand-alone player.
Does anyone have any DVD-RW deals? They are not as common as +R/-R
Assuming they are still made in Japan, the Staples Sony deal is an excellent one. I have burned over 100 of these discs on both Sony and Pioneer recorders and have had NO problems whatsoever.

They also had a 100pk Fuji slim-cases on sale for the same price at that time as well. I should have bought more of those as well. But it looks like there are some other good deals on +R/-R this week from Sony, Verbatim, Fuji silvers, etc. -RW and -RAM deals are harder to find it appears.
I'm just trying to keep all my recordings on the same media. I use the Fuji colors only and go: yellow for comedy/drama, blue for action/sci-fi/horror, and green for sports/documentary/etc. Same with the cases. It's really bumming me out that it's taking so long after they were coming on sale every 2-3 weeks for a while. Plus, the deal can't be beat and I've never had a coaster...ever.
I don't wear underwear, so no one can every say I get my undies in a bunch.
They all are listed in alphabetical order too. For series, I go by air date. I got my system way back in the day of living with roommates that borrowed CDs or movies. I could walk into the room and ask who borrowed one specific CD out of 400, or know what movie was missing out of around 700. Those days are gone, but the system stayed with me for life. It's just easier that way.
As I am browsing the Sunday paper of January 1, 2006, I found these deals:
The underlying theme this week is 50packs for $15
* 50pk Maxell +/- $15 @ Office Depot - don't know if they are MIJ
* 50pk Fuji silvers +/- @ Best Buy - don't nkow if they are MIJ
* 50pk HP +/- $15 @ Staples
* 50pk Imation +/- $14 @ Office Max
* 50pk Memorex +/- $14 @ Comp USA
* 25pk Khypermedia +/- $7 @ Office Max
* 25pk TDK +/- $8 @ Circuit City
* 100pk Nameless +/- $20 @ Comp USA - the deal is only good Sun/Mon. The DVDs too
* 25pk DVD+RW Memorex $13 @ Comp USA
* 10pk Verbatim DVD+R DL $20 @ Office Max
The multi-color Fujis were nowhere to be found at my local Staples. Maybe they moved them again?
Sadly, no specials on DVD-RAM or DVD-RW :-(
Also I was a bit shocked: Comp USA has a two day special of $1000 for a 42" nameless Plasma (!) with no rebates. I don't know much about TVs, but I haven't seen a 42" plasma that low before. So I am guessing they either have a few per store or they are totally junky?

If the picture quality looks good in the store, maybe this is one of those occasions that buying the item along with the store's extended warranty would be appropriate.
I just got an email from supermediastore.com, they've knocked another 10% off of their T-Y 4x DVD-Rs, 200 for $54 shipped, three days only. I picked up another 200 . . .

I've been getting the Verbatim DVD+R DL's at Buy.com (around $30 for a 10-pack). I've been getting the Verbatim DVD-R DL's at either Meritline.com or I think it was OnSale.com, right around $5/disc.
Meritline backordered (for just a few days they say) my order of 25 Ritek DVD-R DL's for $2/disc.
I followed your lead today and ordered 400 of these 4X's. I don't trust the 8X and 16X media that is prevalent today for use in my E100. At this price, how can I go wrong?
Has anybody tried printing on them with a Casio thermal printer? I must get my Casio CW-100 connected up one of these days and see how well it works.
