I have used these before and I can say they work great. I have not made a coaster at all with these and a good price too.

Optimum rebates from Staples are some of the fastest I've gotten.

 

[s0ssos]

anyone have atip info on this?

 

[s0ssos]

actually, i'm not sure this is good. just looked on staples' website-khypermedia? isn't that the cheap company that makes officemax cdr and dvd media?

 

[tiblot]

Anyone have more input on this? Good, bad ?

 

[tjaisv]

Overall a seemingly good brand. This from dvdrhelp.com optimum thread:
DVD Reliability is Good
PC Reliability is Good
Burn Reliability is Good
Console Reliability is Good

Should be. Check your store online ad. I know for mine here in NY it's listed in the instore ad.

I got 2 of this before, one is 2X, the other one is 4X!!!!!!! Go get them. They look exact same though.

These DVD+Rs work great in my NEC 1100a. Haven't burned a coaster yet.

Could someone who has purchased these use DVDInfo and give us all the lowdown on who manufactures the discs. Thanks

 

[tiblot]

Ya that would be cool

Is this any good? I just picked them up a little while ago.

 

[a2k]

I just picked up a burner that can use both + and - dvd's. Is one better than the other?

 

[tiblot]

Qualitywise not really. But + is newer and supports multiple sessions.

I think I'll pass on the CMC's. I prefer to buy 4X media since there doesn't seem to be much difference in the price. I'll probably pick up a couple of 25 pack Memorex 4X +R spindles from Office Depot this week. It's buy one at $59.87 and get one free. You can also find a $15 off $50 coupon at several different places that have coupons listed at their dot com. The media has been being RICOHJPNR01. Very good media.

 

[tiblot]

woah wheres the $15 off $50?

?????

 

[conehead433]

Either. There is a coupon code on OD's website to get the buy one get one free. You need to place the order online to use the $15 off $50 coupon, but you can choose instore pick-up.

 

[Cherub]

Has anyone found out if the rebate is limited to a certain number, or one, per person? The cashier that rung up my purchase said that it was one per household, but the long rebate printout made no mention whatsoever of such a limit.

 

[TruthSeeker]

Cannot find the coupon on Office Depot. Anyone got a link?

 

[ams30gts]

rebate doesnt specify how many you can buy

It doesn't even ask for the UPC
