Maxell MIJ this week

My Personal Tips on Buying DVDS:
[*]Always check for MIJ (Made in Japan), most of the time it'll provide top tier quality
[*]Use sites like http://www.nomorecoasters.com and http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia to determine what type of DVD stepping codes you'd get and what are proven good or bad
[*]Also use sites like http://www.cdrinfo.com to find out how well the quality of DVD burners are actually doing
[*]Use programs like DVDIdentifier to find out what DVD media OEM's you're getting
[*]If you can afford it, get a Lite-On or NEC to check out how well your DVDs are burning and scan them for quality

I was actually not going to do one this week, because I didn't see any media that could have been MIJ (most of this week consisted of Memorex). But then I saw a post on Maxell, and have gotten good results from them (Maxell 003 and MXL RG03 )

I think there's a 50pk of Philips CD-Rs for $7 also

There are always DVD deals that aren't shown, (like a 25pk of ??? Brand for $15, but I usually try to post stuff under the $0.40/disk mark)

Look for the OfficeMax +R Made in India, they are made by Moser Baer and burn extremely well, on par with Taiyo Yuden. Also, OfficeMax had a brown paper bag in the Sunday inserts and anything you can fit in the bag is discounted an additional 15%. The 15% discount applies before the $15 instant rebate so the total is around $10.49 for the 50 pack of +R media. That's an extremely hot deal for super high quality media.

If you need -R look for Made in India, those are FUJIFILM03, also high quality.
