if you look at the pictures, you can easily tell that is not 500 dvds.. 100 at most...

Exactamundo. Anyway do you really expect someone to make a stack of 500 dvd's? How do you ship something like that?
 
I placed an order for 1. Still not a bad deal for 100 disks

who said a stack of 500? amazon is usually pretty good about product pictures. they would take a picture of all 5 stacks of 100 or 10 stacks of 50...
 
Anandtech actually had to cancel their ads after they put them up at the Hot Deals forum because so many forum members complained. There were numerous massive threads about TD scams here.

Whats your point? Even if only 50% work its still 2.5k dvd-rs for 25 dollars

Well, in most cases, bad DVD-Rs have potential to mess up. One of my friends bought a spindle of cheapo 50 DVD-R made by company I never heard before. He ended up about 30 failed while buring, about 15 burnt but became unreadable in a week, and the rest works, but not well (they are very hard to be read by DVD-ROMs I tested including PS2, Lite-on DVD-ROMs, NEC DVD-RW, and more). So, he got 5 out of 50 discs somewhat works, but I would say none, because none works perfectly, like Ridata or Taiyo Yuden. (BTW, it's not his DVD-RW drive's fault. We've tried to burn with 4 drives from 4 different computers) I am sure my friend was so unlucky, but still, I've heard many people wasted cheapo medias they bought. So, be careful, and don't try to burn such important data with them.

BTW, I found DVD Media info from videohelp.com.

Don't forget to post back in this thread please about the process of trying to get your money back from TigerDirect. There are plenty of other risky deals, but if you see the word 'TigerDirect' anywhere on the page, it's simply not worth the gamble, especially if there's a rebate involved. Luckily you won't loose much $ if you just ordered 1, but people are ordering 10 of these... don't forget to post back if I'm wrong.

There's a post on amazon's comment list:

Out Of Stock, October 2, 2004
Reviewer: Fat Walleter - See all my reviews
I have just cleaned out the inventory by ordering 500 packs, so nothing left. Do not waste your time to place anymore orders.

as well as this one:

My 5,000 dvd-r's I ordered just came, the box was a little bigger than I expected 🙂 Now I just have to get burning..
