Also...

100 Pack Taiyo Yuden 4X DVD-R Media 4.7GB Silver Lacquer Blank DVDR Disc (DVD-R47VAL600SK)

$38.49 with code "silver65off" applied at checkout. Shipping is around $5, ends January 20.

http://store.yahoo.com/meritli...ia-silver-lacquer.html

Coupon code "silver65off" MAY work on the Riteks, YMMV.

(Thanks to cocacolakid on Bulging Billfold for this tip, which he probably found somewhere else.)

The price would be good if they were TY, but since it is ritek, not a good deal

i got in on this, man... a 50 pack of TY is usually 40 bucks (or 80 cents a disc) they're the shiznit, probably the most reliable media for ps2 lasers and crummy dvd players.

 

[emeraldsky]

For me, shipping is $10.60 on the Taiyo Yudens

Beware Meritline, the Ritek G04's that I ordered were fake.

Disc ID'd as something completely different, was just a poor quality product. You could literally see dye on the inside spindle where it certainly should'nt have been lol.

Was a huge pain to return, ended up just saying screw it.

GL if you order.

i've ordered from them many times with no problems..

 

[mrrman]

I buy from Meritline all the time...had a problem once but they resolved it.

 

[Chunkee]

DONT BUY FROM THEM, THEY ARE REJECT CRAP DISKS, BUY FROM SHOP4TECH,

i bought 100 pack of so called g05 riteks from meritline. i got a bunch of rejects that made nothing but coasters

shop elsewhere

meritline is a fine company...but as for ritek discs...hit up the 4x 100 pack at newegg for $40 shipped..or few bucks more for the 8x. done both myself.

ugh, meritline screwed up my order twice (same order) and just shrugged me off when I tried to get it resolved. they get nothing from me.

 

[ubercaffeinated]

meritline gave me fake g04s. they gave me disks with fudged up write strategies (thinking they were g03's that got changed to g04s). i used to buy from them regularly but the last three times (i bought a 100 spindle each time) they sent me crap riteks. their customer service doesn't care either. now i only buy real ty discs. =/

 

[musicman64]

I find it amazing that anyone had a good exp with them.

Anyone that orders, pleace check your DVD's manufacturer code. Might be surprised.

I've bought from them several times, recently bought TYs from them. there are 100% legit not fake TY. Serial numbers check out fine, though I suspect in a coming months the serials will quickly be faked also.

Rima has always been the best in my opinion.

 

[cheetoden]

I usually use shop4tech.com or allmediaoutlet.com

 

[firerock]

Meritline has a long history of carrying fake Ritek back in G04 days (now G05). Like everyone mentioned, their RMA is horrendous! Now, I get my supply from shop4tech and Rima. They will have almost everything you need for your backups. BTW, shipping time & cost from Shop4Tech and Rima are excellent as well!
