Where to buy Mitsubishi CD-R's?

[ctk1981]

Like the title says. Where can one buy actual Mitsubishi CD-R's? Looking for an online retailer with reliable service. Im having a hard time locating them. Found Mitsui which are supposed to be good also, but I was interested in the Mitsubishi CD-R's.

You mean actual "Mitsibishi" branded CDrs?

"Verbatim Datlife" is also Mitsubishi and they're almost always available at Best Buy. They're not on spindles, only in jewel cases.

I've never seen Mitsubishi branded CD's,
Like RalfHutter pointed out, Verbatim's Datallife plus CD's are Mitsubishis though.

Mitsubishi Chemical, Mitsui, Kodak are good as Taiyo Yuden.

and Fuji (Made in Japan) are just rebadged TY's correct?

After reading around, it looks like the Mitsui might be a good try also. Evidently they use a different coating than the other manufacturers. cdr4less has them there in bulk. They even copycat the Mitsui's but they sell higher...go figure? Anyways, Im going to try a pack of each.

Ive never had a problem with the Fuji's really. But by far my black backed memorex's lasted the longest. They seemed to hold up better to my rough use (in terms of scratches, etc).

If you ever wanna see what company makes a good cd-r, just check out the recommended list for your CD-R drive. One company I checked almost exclusively listed Mitsubishi and Mitsui for use with there drives.

Yes, Fujifilm (made in japan, the cake box has a turning knob) is TY.
It's often $3-5 after rebate, hot deal.
I always have 3-4 spindles on hand.

Verbatim Corporation= a Subsidiary of Mitsubishi Chemical Company. They make also the CD-Rs with Mitsubishi on them

Great Stuff!
