Just got a 50 pack of +R and they are supported for 6-8X on my black friday Lite-On DVD burner. I will burn at 6X to be safe.

Its not about getting a coaster. Ever since they came up with buffer underrun protection, I never saw coasters. You can have a successful burn still end up with a bad disc. I stopped buying cheap/noname media long time ago. Just not worth it. Whats the point of backing up something if you can't retrieve later? And my experience with cheap media, 100% bad in this regard. Simple test, do some read scan like Nero discscan. If it comes up with CRC errors, I wouldn't touch it.

Isn't the trick with Fuji's buying the stuff that is Made in Japan which is all TY discs.....

If I have more than one ink cart, will they take off 3 bucks for each?

The Manager was nice enough to ring each spindle separately. I had 4 ink cartdridges and he rang up 4 times for me. So I guess depends on how nice the cashier is. Technically, the coupon states "limit one per transaction per customer".
 
Good price for toss-around / give away to friends discs, but wouldn't use it for my personal data backups! Stick with TY Made in Japan stuff. Check the labels for Made in Japan on the Fuji's at Best Buy this week. $14.99 for a 50 spindle. Or order Taiyo Yudens at shop4tech.com for about the same price (no tax, no shipping for me either)
