How good of a deal is this? Also, I can't seem to get that link to work and can't find it on the website

this is a pretty decent deal. avg going price for dvd+r is about $1 each. this is a bit cheaper than that.
Ah crap, you guys are right. Memorex is using CMC now, I just checked an unopened spindle I got from amazon.com about a week ago and DVD Identifier identifies it as CMC. It has the pronounced lip at the top and the bottom of the spindle is black instead of the gray spindle the Ricoh's come in. Stupid amazon.com
So is that how we will be able to distinguish ricoh from cmc, gray bottom for ricoh and black for cmc? Can anyone verify this?
Just got 2 Memorex+ spindles at OM. Gray bottom. Ricohs.
PN 3202 5571
Anyone with CMC's have a part #?

Same, PN 3202 5571, perhaps the UPC is different? The CMC is 034707 055711, although I think the black bottom / gray bottom contrast will probably be the the only way to tell them apart.
Is It Me or Is It Memorex ??
I just purchased a 25 pack spindle of DVD+R with the grey case and it is Ricoh according to DVD Decryptor. I just tried one of the disks and now am a little worried. ( A little background, I have in the past done several hundred burns with TDK ( DVD-R) and several other makers ) I ran the program Kprobe on the disk and it showed a result on both PI and PO errors. The standard I use is 280 for PI and 32 for PO. The DVD+R resulted in 260 and 8. The results are just under the acceptable level for DVD's. The TDK discs as a rule never exceeded 160 to 180 PI and the PO is usually around 8. If I look at the phyical makeup of the disc, it looks like the coating has dripped over the sides of the discs. The TDK on the other hand, have a nice smooth outer edge. I have read various other posts and have come to believe that Ricoh is supposed to be an excellent media and I am all prepared to purchased several more spindles. I need to know if I am doing something wrong, or has Ricoh slipped in quality? Any info is appreciated.

A lot of OM B&M has ran out of this.
Some of them promise new shipment but so far still zip.
If they have subs and you need one right away, just get it.
But the best deal right now is to PM it to either CC or Staples, it's OM loss for not having enough inventory.
One more reason to get Memorex 4X DVD+R (Ricoh) is that it can be burn at 8X if you have 8X Burner (Plextor).

ended up pm'ing to the cc across the street-only gave me the same price, not the 10 percent off because the called the om that was out, still, a good price for memorex
Some people have been getting Ricohs in the Imation +R spindle as well. No guarantee though. Heck, I just read a post at FW of a guy bought Imation -R and they were Riteks. That surprised me, I thought the -Rs were usually CMC.
