I was poking around Yahoo Japan Auctions and found something quite unexpected: http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g30100097
TY must have done some ninjutsu getting these discs out, because I haven’t heard anything about any 16x media getting released. I would assume the media code is TYG03. Koba, or one of our other CD Freaks in Japan, care to try them out for us? 
nice find Two Degrees…
comin’ up on 1k posts there man 
Heh, I wouildn’t have noticed that if you hadn’t pointed it out. Start lab has a PDF press release showing all the 16x DVD-R packages available: http://startlab.co.jp/16x�V���i����.pdf
A 50 disc spindle, wow. TY must be doing some serious 16x production.
maybe i should start trying some -R media…have used +R exclusively till now.
160 Yen per disk. A little more expensive than MCC004 and YUDEN000T02. OEM TY 16x DVD media must cost less than MCC004 though.
