A lot of good deals this week! I'm gonna aim for the TDKs or Maxell, then Sony, but whichever ones are MIJ

My +R came up as YUDEN000T02 and my -R was SONY08D1 (both seem well-received at http://www.videohelp.com)

My Personal Tips on Buying DVDS:
[*]Always check for MIJ (Made in Japan), most of the time it'll provide top tier quality
[*]Use programs like DVDIdentifier to find out what DVD media OEM's you're getting
[*]Then 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 and http://www.cdfreaks.comto find out how well the quality of DVD burners are actually doing
[*]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
[*]What's the difference between DVD-R and DVD+R? I just chose these random 4 links: A B C D
[*]But aside from the specs, the truth is that for the end user there is no difference between +R and -R, since most burners and DVD players supports them both.

Sorry haven't done them in a while, a lot of school + work :-(. Tried to do this quickstyle, so hopefully you guys can do the hotlinking :)

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)
