Amazon has both + and - at $28.49 shipped.
Save yourself some tax if you have to pay tax.

Even better PM to OM and spend some of those RZ certificates. I burned up $20 worth and walked out with a 25 ct. spindle for $5.29. Needed some media for my new Lite-On burner.

I've been doing alot of research recently of dvd media since I just bought a dvd-r drive. on the dvdrhelp forums, this BB memorex deal was discussed and most people thought the dvd+r media was decent, but the dvd-r media was really bad.

And I'm pretty sure these aren't TY's.

As far as I know these are either Ricoh or CMC.

This seems like a good deal, but it seems like this deal is everywhere these days. I'm guessing media prices are going down, I wonder when the dual layer drive and media will be coming out and at what prices.

My local BB is out of stock. I was just going to order a couple spindles on-line but, again, BB's on-line ordering is working for crud. Their secure site can't be that busy....

The memorex DVD+Rs I've bought have been Ricoh, but some people are saying they're getting CMC Magnetics now. Not good. The new spindles have different packaging than the ones I bought, so very possibly the new ones are not Ricoh. Just my guess though.

Yeah, I bought one spindle a month or so ago and it was Ricoh. Last week, I bought another and it turned out to be CMC, I could definetly tell that the DVD wasn't as well made. FWIW, my posts from another thread:

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

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.
