For those of us who don't like rebates this is pretty good.

I got a few of these and wrote it on some MP3 over like 5 gigs and a month later I tried to make CDs and they had a bad crc error... note sure about you.. wasted my time and money.. yes I tried it on a good TDK writer and Mitsumi writers one was a firewire and other was on a channel by itself... no more pine until they get better. Cheap is sometimes not a good thing.. if you see why others are so much higher while pine is nearly 1/3 of the price. beware.

It does mention on the site "Warranty Term ? Parts 1 year " so I'd imagine you could demand a refund (hopefully not an exchange!).

Believe it or not.. back when CDRs were $1ea, or $0.50ea on sale, I used to get the packs of 6X Ritek CompUSA house-brand special discs (good discs like Kodak gold were like $3ea back then). The box had CompUSA's standard 1-year warrantee. So.. when I had amassaed a spindle full of coasters, that's exactly what I did, I took them back for an exchange, for a new box of blanks. Note that I never tried to do it with a partial-spindle, since they would never be able to sell the remainder of the spindle after exchanging only a portion of the discs. I only did that two times, I did feel kind of bad doing it, as it doesn't really make sense to have an exchange warrantee on consumable media - but there is was, in B&W printed on the box. However, when prices on media came down more, I moved up to the CompUSA "premium" house brand, and found out that I made significantly fewer coasters. So then I didn't feel so bad about exchanging those discs, they actually were of quite poor quality. I was using a SCSI drive at the time, first a 2X caddy'd, and then later a 6x tray internal (Yamaha 6416S, still works good), so buffer-underruns weren't an issue, it really was just crap media causing tracking errors during writing. (Yes, there were a few discs in the spindle that were due to user error, that probably was a bit unethical to include those. But I only ever exchanged the CompUSA discs that were covered by a printed warrantee, not the generic shrink-wrapped unbranded spindles that were also sold there.) So with better discs, and a somewhat newer burner, and the initial CD-R learning curve under my belt, I decided to stop exchanging discs. I currently have about 75 coasters of assorted brand discs on my spindle now, anyone need some skeet targets?

Oh yeah, those 6x Ritek cyanine CompUSA house-brand discs were so cheap, that many people in the newsgroups complained about the top painted layer actually just simply flaking off, they really were that cheap. I expect that the Pine discs are probably similar.
