Dunno if those links will work, or if BB website is dependent on cookies.
Even thought the webpage says 2.4x for the DVD+R, in store it should be 8x. If you find 8x DVD+R with "Made in Japan" those are Taiyo Yuden. Dunno about the DVD-R.
I've stocked up the past two week, so I'm gonna skip this week, but this is a good price especially if you can find TY ones.

It's B&M only.
it's on clearance, but last time i checked, they had a whole bunch on the clearance rack.
10 pack is 6.94 as well.
Last week, BestBuy was carrying 8x TDKs 25pk for 9.99. I'm not sure why you would think 25 for $10 is better than 50 for $20.

LOL. After buying two of the TDK 8x packs, one CMC MAG E01 and one RICOHJPNR02, now the potentially T-Y fuji 8x discs go on sale. 
Guess I'll have to get some of these too. Finally, decent media is just as affordable as the "cheapo" stuff I've been using before.
The question is, should I shop at Worst Buy, or take their ad somewhere else and PM, just to spite them. Don't forget, Wal-Mart will PM, if you bring in the ad. I assume Staples and OM will too. Which evil meglo-maniacal corporation to enrich this weekend? Decisions, decisions...

I wouldn't take my chances on those TDK or any other media. I'd hate to get the CMC crap media.
The FUJI's at Bestbuy are the best. I think only the 8X+R are the Tayo Yuden's. They are the only ones i saw that say Made in Japan. They show up as Tayo Yuden Corp and 8X under DVD identifier.
Best disk i've used and they actually burn at 8X on my NEC 2500A unlike my 8X Ritek's which only burn at 4X.

-R are all Taiwan at Fry's

Not hot for me if 2.4X. Anyone buy the DVD+R and confirm if you get 8x, not 2.4X?
DVD+R - 2.4X :thumbsdown:
DVD-R - 1X :thumbsdown:
Note: Fuji - Fuji - 100pk 4X DVD+R spindle is $79.99 + tax.

I wouldn't worry about that so much, since BestBuy's Fuji (T-Y, if MIJ) CD-Rs are still shown as "16x" packaging, yet it's been a long time since they've mfg'ed anything slower than 48x speed CD-Rs.
If the SKUs in the ad match the ones on the 8x packages' price stickers, I'm there.
Edit: Got back from the store, picked up a 50-spindle of Fuji 8x DVD-R, since I've been stocking up so much on +R lately. There were *four* different types of Fuji DVD-R packs, one 8x-rated "MIJ" (T-Y distinctive packaging), two 8x-rated "MIT" (one with a black bottom, and one with a grey-colored bottom plastic piece), and a fourth 4x-rated "MIT", similar to the other two, but the blue printing on the outer wrapped went all the way to the ridge on the top of the plastic spindle, whereas the two 8x "MIT" packages did not. Also, the 4x "MIT" had a vertical bar-code, the others had horizontal ones. I would be curious to know who the mfg of those other styles of media are, but it's not that important, since the T-Y ones are "obvious", due to the packaging.
I purchased one out of two of the T-Y 8x DVD-R packages at my store (one was hidden behind - some sneaky bastage put it there - well, I left it for you, have fun.
). The only 8x DVD+R packages that I could see (4 total), were all in T-Y style packaging. There was also a display of Fuji media at the "impulse buy" area near the check-outs, but none of those were T-Y.Now I just have to decide whether to flash my ND1300A with recently-released TDK or IODATA OEM firmware 1.0C, or wait for the official NEC 1.0C release. Hmm.
Yep. The Fuji's cakeboxes have clear tops, so if you look carefully, just under the horizontal line on right you will see country of manuf. Since the light in the stores is poor, I bring a small magnifying glass when I go. Also the same goes for the Fuji 48X cdroms, the japanese have the round blue cardboard text card on top. Fry's still has these all the time.
Also if you look at the BestBuy ad with a manifying glass the label in the image picture says 8X not 2.4. 2.4 is D/L.
Yes. And FWIW, Japanese-manufactured optical media is generally a good thing, whether it's Taiyo or not. Taiyo just happens to be the most readily available in US retail stores that I know of, through Fuji.
Put it this way, if I had a choice of 2 spindles that had no labeling other than "Made in Taiwan" or "Made in Japan" and the prices were relatively similar, I would take the Japanese every time
yeah, those pics of the cakeboxes show the difference. The 1st is TY and the 2nd is not. They're pretty distinctive once you know what to look for. To double check that it's TY, you can find the "MADE IN JAPAN," below the UPC on the packaging. There are several lines of text below the UPC, it's the very last line.
frys selling fuji 50pk 4x + and - for $20, however they're made in Taiwan
