50 pack of DVD+Rs

Please post a price in your title, and the brand in your post. (for future use. . . ) These are generics at $13.25/50, with added shipping, which is not too hot at all.
 
Personally, for generic "everyday" use (not what I'd put my wedding tape, or backup of my tax records, on), I use the Shop4tech whitetop DVD-R.

1. Use the link off of pricewatch. These are $80/500-pack right now.
2. Use 10% off coupon, available many places on the web.
3. Use 3% fatwa**et fatcash.

This brings them down to $69/500 pack -- or $6.90 per 50-pack. Free shipping, too. I've burnt maybe 1500 of these, with negligible problems. Do I expect them to last for a hundred years? Well, no, but as long as they last five or ten years, the market will be well into the lifecycle of the DVD replacement (bluelaser, etc.), with the very, very large holographic formats entering the market.

To preempt the "Taiyo Yuden snobs," I keep a stack of Riteks for "very important" discs, and a stack of Taiyo Yuden for "very, very important" discs. I also make at least one extra backup of the very, very important stuff.
 
I got a 50 pack of these about a month ago. I've had nothing but problems with every movie that I've tried to watch after burning onto these DVDs. Every one of the movies froze at some point in the movie
 
the only thing pricewatch lists for shop4tech right now is an "OPTODISC 9.4GB PRE-FORMATTED DVD-RAM DOUBLE-SIDED MEDIA W/CARTRIDGE". Either they ran out of the whitetop DVD-R 500-packs, or I'm not searching properly.
