What have you just bought? CD/DVD related or otherwise

Bought a 10 pack of Philips 16x -R (MBI 01RG40) for testing.

Will probably pick up a 10 pack of the 16x +Rs next time (Monday).

Hmm...good luck with that, Miss Mod.

I'm a CDFreak, I like trying out media I haven't used before

how far are we going back here? we talking what i last bought or everything ive bought in lets say the past 2 weeks?

hey i think ive got some of those phillips disks lol.

A trip to Chicago! Roll on may

If you want, you can go back 2 weeks. It's whatever you feel like sharing.

I just bought the kids (and me) a PS3. Sweet deal at Blockbuster: 80Gb version for $599. It's $100 more than everywhere else but it comes with the HDMI cable and the Bluray remote so it comes out even. Then they throw in one movie or game rental per week for the next 20 weeks (+++). Pretty cool since the kids spent all their money just to get the console.

Bluray movies (and even old DVD's upscaled) look unbelievable through the HDMI connection to my Samsung 42". The games are incredible. PS3 will also connect to a Media Server. My whole CD collection is ripped to my HDD so it just obsoleted my 200 disc CD player.

Also, just upgraded from my $8.99 per month 52K dial-up to a $14.99 per month 768K DSL connection. PS3 connects to web through my home LAN. Momma can talk on the phone while we're online!!! Momma happy, Icy happy, everybody happy.

Well at least you haven't said they're crap, that's encouraging!

And yeah, post whatever you've bought that you'd like to share/talk about

Maybe pythonis is just holding back, or forgot to mention that they were crap.

LOL! That's not fair, now I'll have to burn a couple to find out

Samsung Syncmaster SC-245B 24 inch (native resolution 1920x1200 pixels). Full HD compliant.

Bought with xmas money.

VERY nice, Dee!

for my parents cause they have a hard time with finding the right buttons on different remotes

amazon had a deal when you bought the 9910 you got the 8910 for only a $1.04 more + shipping cause i had the other sent to their house.



really nice as my other is only 40 gb, for now have lots of room

for the lady, use this with a monster tuner, easier than chaning cd's in the car and carrying around with the kids.

only burned 2 sony d21's so far waiting for my next shipment to come in before i really break it in.

from rima.com, expect them here very soon

Congrats Dee-27
wider is better

just bought the Planet Earth hardcover book and the Wondrous Secrets Of The Ocean Realm dvd box set. as for the phillips they were ok but havent done any scans to say if they were of great quality or anything. basically they did what they were meant to do.

2 CaseLogic 72 capacity dvd/cd cases. A golf swing trainer (lord knows I need it). 24 pairs of socks. And a PapaJohn's "The Meats" pizza with cheesesticks included.

One 10pack Verb DL ( MIS ) from Micro Center $15.99
only one case in store

I upgraded from the free Acronis v7.0 to v11.0 for $29.99. I have been using Seagate DiscWizard for free also but went ahead and bought it. Seemed fairly cheap to me for what it does. I have some HDD cloning to do and some other HDD files to move around etc...that only the (full) version does.

well turns out those phillips disks werent the exact type you mentioned. dont know if these i bought are hard to find or whatever but heres a scan from one.

Those are very good discs, congrats. Very stable for long-term use (I have two year old+ backups on those CMC MAG E01s, Imation and HP branded).

Niiiiiiice!! ...hopefully that's your PC problems over with

I paid more than that for both mine (a "pure" 1650 and a Philips which I crossflashed to a 1650).

Not as much as cheesie though, whew! Mine cost £35 and £39 respectively, both from PCW.
