Fuji 100pk DVD+R $30

Flyer SKU: 25302100/25302200 are not found online, but these are the only Fuji 100pk DVD-R/DVD+R found.

Out of the above would u think would be the best to get cause there both $30 for 100 and im going to use my $30 off coupon to make it $21 each :slight_smile:

so the fujis or the verbs? and what give aways can i spot on the packs to know there good media like with the sonys and the octogon spacer cause i dont want to get stuck with crap media like last weeks sonys which 10 out of 50 didnt burn 3 of them wouldnt play and a ton of them wouldnt even burn in my lite on but did on my lg

#2

Verbs hands down. Fuji are almost all Prodisc or Ritek made these days. I would trust MCC codes long before the others.

#3

ditto

#4

ok i will go for the verb’s i never had any problems with these in the past

#5

Thanks for the info!

#6

on the verb’s which is the best + or - i want to make sure i get the best b4 i buy them

#7

I personally use + media since I bitset to DVD-Rom to ensure DVD player compatibilty, - media cannot change the booktype to DVDRom.

That’s if your DVD burner supports bitsetting.

#8

bitset to dvd-rom? dose this help like dvd moives in dvd players? and i have a lite-on show 16x could this work for the bitset and is it hard to do?

#9

The LiteOn bitsetting utility is located on this page. And it’s easy to do. I think you have to set it each time you turn on your system or change the type of disc you’re burning.

#10

Can’t these Verbs from BB be price matched at Circuit City for 110% of the difference (i.e. price match + 10% discount)?

#11

If your CC carries the Verbs then yes. Mine currently does not, so I don’t have the option :sad: .

#12

WoW, how can you leave out the Verb DL media, 20 for $34.99, 8X too (8X certified, not 2.4X that can be burnt at 8X). And if you can snatch a 30% coupon, you will get this one to under $21 for 20 disc

#13

FYI, these are the 2.4x discs. Link. Look at the pic and product details.

#14

ok i got the prog and changed it to dvd-rom now how can i tell if it worked or not? cause it has a write button, change button and qurey button so i clicked the change button and it changed to dvd-rom but the write wont click so i used RNM and burrned the dvd.

also i tried the %30 off but it didnt work this time they called up a CSM and they said it had to be over $100 worth of items and they can only knock off %30 off one blah so i only got 2 pks they said last time was a mistake when i got the sonys for 30% off typle best buy BS

ok i figerd it out thanks for the tip on the dvd-rom

#15

thanks for the confirmation, jhtalisman! I’ll be sure to call both Circuit Citys before I go there. They did have Verbatims before, but I have not been in there in a long time, so I will be better off to call beforehand.

#16

title says “Verbatim 20-Pack 8x DVD+R DL Double-Layer Disc Spindle” on website. What I remember is that BB clearance all the 2.4X Verbatim and that was over a month ago. The picture shows 2.4X but best buy has cleared them out over a month ago. I will check it out in there and report later if I feel like going shopping today

Circuit city does not have Verbatim anymore, only Sony in a spindle of 25, not even 50. TDK, philips, nexxtech,and the ever popular memorex, I guess almost every retailer carries memorex.

#17

well i just got back from BB and there was only 2.4x verbs dl and i asked where are the 8x verbs dl and he said “we don’t have them yet”. so i picked up 3 for a grand total of 3 x 34.99= 104.97 - 30%=73.48 - 5.oo=68.48 plus no sales tax today. :bigsmile:

#18

Nice work on that. Just over $1 a disc on the best D/L media out there.

#19

yeah $1.14 a disc…i feel like i stole them…lol…

#20

Hey, where can one get the 30% coupon?

Thanks!
