15 Pack DVDs $4.99 at Office Depot YMMV

[conehead433]

Was at my local Office Depot today and all 15 Pack DVD +R, -R, 4X and 8X had all been marked down to $4.99. My store had Phillips, Maxell and Memorex. The Maxell 4X -R was the only Made In Japan discs. The Memorex and Phillips were 8X Taiwan discs. The Japanese Maxell 4X -R ID'd as MXL RG02, the Maxell 4X +R are RICOHJPNR01, the Phillips 8X +R are CMC MAG E01, the Memorex 8X +R are also CMC MAG E01, the Memorex 8X -R are CMC MAG AE1. These appeared to be reduced at this store, therefore the YMMV. Personally I'd take the Maxell 4X + or - discs over the CMC 8X.

maxel manufactured 4xs beat CMC 8 x any day; decent burners will burn the 4x at 8x anyway

I bought a 25 pack of Memorex -R's last week from OD and they were Ritek G05. A friend bought a 15 pack today and they were also Ritek G05. Good disks. My OD was out of Maxell and had only a few memorex left. Plenty of Philips disks however.
