Wow, 200 is cheaper than 100... go figure that...

Not much on Reseller Ratings but a couple of people specifically talk about the DVD media.

Nice first HD post!

23 posts since 2001??!?!!?!?!?! WTF is up wit that????

Anyway nice find but I would be careful with them. I have ordered 2 times and thier packing sucks big time. Both times they put the dvds in a huge box with like 3 foams (small ones mind you) and the spindals cracks. Last time I ordered they came big time cracked up with disks all over the box. Called and left emails and no one returned my call. Also in both times the boxes themselves were in decent condition just that the spindals are all over in the box because there is hardly any packing supplies.

For that I wont buy from them again but pay the extra to get from newegg. They seem to know how to pack it right and I have less fewer unusable discs because of massive scratches on them.

Well i read anandtech all the time, but only post when I see something really good.

But I bought from this site before and had excellent dvd's, burned 150 without a bad disc. This is the best deal i found without rebates or price match.

Free shipping... this seems like a nice deal :) if only I didnt buy 200 from that TY deal, and 100 from the CompUSA 10PK Deals... and a few 25 pack spindles from a local CC deal...
Im set for a while, but thanks OP :)

Never said the disks sucked, infact like you, out of the ones that didnt get ruined in shipping have always burned for me. My main bitch is thier piss poor packing. Maybe I just got unlucky 2 times in a row???

That's odd, from the link, 100 of them cost $42.99 & 200 of them cost $35.99, maybe a price error? Get in while it's still good? =)

AML media? I wouldn't bother, here's what digitalFAQ.com has to say:

4TH CLASS MEDIA
Pathetic garbage media, landfill material, about 0-50% success rate:
CMC, CMCMAG = CMC Magnetics (Taiwan) = (-R)
PIODATA, PIO = LeadData, Ritek = (-R) ... once sold as "Pioneer" but that's false
Fake TYG02, SONY, MXL = Fake Sony/Maxell from Hong Kong OEM (Infosmart) = (-R)
OPTODISC = Optodisc = (+R)(+RW)
AN31, AN32, ANWELL, AN30, AML = Hong Kong OEM (Infosmart) = (-R)
INFOSMART = Hong Kong OEM = (-R)(+R)
...
As with anything YMMV, I tried some TDK branded +R's (CMC MAG E01) which they list as 3rd Class Media, that worked great for me.

I have a NEC3500A and am using a philips DVD player, i don't remember the exact model number but its the popular model with DivX support.

35.99 is without coupon, there is one on the internet to bring it down to 30.00 i can't tell you where it is since the lazy would then not do their homework. i can't believe how incredible lazy most people are, it's just ridiculous.

Can anyone who has received these provide media codes and quality feedback?
