CD & DVD Dvd-r Prices

[cosmoss]

As the price of DVD-R's seems to be escalating again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread where we can all post and share where we buy our DVD-R's from. We may all be thinking we're getting the best deal out there but do we really know??

Ok I'll start this off. I'm using Datasafe Blue 1x DVD-R's from www.bigpockets.co.uk

Last time I looked they were £29.99 For a tub of 50. Excellent General Purpose discs and they work great with movies.

i've just bought traxdata purple 1x2x from bowlers yesterday, spindle of 25 £30, not bad at all.

Also i use datasafe media 1x tub of 50 for £30

waiting for the neo premium to drop down, they are a great disc 4x but pricey

Highlander, what days do bowlers have their computer fairs now?? I think I've seen a sign saying they are now every week but didnt pay too much attention to it... also what are the opening hours?? I think I need to pay a visit as I've never actually been.

And I only live 4 miles away lol!!!

As Cosmoss said "Avoid them like the plague for movies m8, they are crap."

That is how they get their name 'Bulkcrap as to bulkpaq'

the yellow traxdata are nice and cheap and i've gone through at least 250 with no problems on any dvd player. only prob with them is they are 1X. (That's 250 hours of dvd recording, sh!t)

 

[cosmoss]

Have to agree with you Highlander m8, I got myself 100 of the yellow traxdata from bowlers for £65.00. I've burned around 50 and all have worked perfectly... hmmm I'm running short of coasters now!!!

 

[Brooksy]

and thanks again for your knowledge

[cosmoss]

Billy, where are you getting the datawrite yellows for £34.00?? They seem to have gone up everywhere at the mo.

And what do you mean, you are burning at 2x??? I thought these were 1x discs???

 

[billy2hats]

hi i bought 100 for £65 last week at a fair in sunderland you know how the pioneer writers are fussy about makes of discs well the pano has nothing in its firmware about makes if you want you can write on most discs at 2x but i only know the yellows work perfect with no freezing skiping etc and with nero and vob instant
