Cheap Media

[effowe]

I'm looking to start buying my media online so I can save a few bucks. I was wondering where I could go online to buy some cheap media. Also, what does everyone reccommend to buy as far as DVD+R and CDs are concerned. I am used to always buying either Memorex (for CD and DVD) and Fugifilm (for CD), I would like the same quality as this.

I too wonder this. Please, someone, enlighten us.

Buy Ritek IMHO if you want generic. NewEgg and ZipZoomFly usually have an OK price every day or you can hang around SlickDeals or FatWallet and just pounce on markdowns when they happen.
And for DVD's, if you have more time than money (like me) buy the 8x on the cheap.

me neither. in the end it's not even worth it, just trash.
shell out a few more bucks and buy decent brand media that'll give you 90+ quality scan.
bestbuy or officemax,etc usually has some $15 for 50 deals on media. or if you don't care about rebates, newegg or amazon might have some deals.

I agree not to buy the cheapest media you can find but Ritek is GOOD media with a cheap price. I have burned around 800 Riteks with maybe 2 coasters and those were user errors. And over the past three years they still work fine in any DVD player I try them in.
