    I agree. Why are CDs just as cheap/expensive as DVDs ? With DVDs coming down in price, you would think that CDs would be close to giveaway prices.

    Don't forget that Yesbuy.net has 100 DVD cases for $9 or 100 paper CD envelopes for $5. Both appear on BensBargains right now.

    I still use CD's all the time for music and burning linux live CDs to rescue old systems that don't have a DVD drive. I've never had good luck with sony, but only had good experiences with staples, so the risks kind of even out.

    I agreed with #8, I used SONY CDRs before and had no issue.

    It is not necessary to get the name brands CDR. Fry's GQ, $8 per 100, will do. DVDR is another story where I would stick with TY or Verbatim.

    These CDs are just fine, but I also wondered why the prices for these never seem to get any less expensive. The free shipping on orders of $50 ruins the deal for me though.

    i've had good luck with these but the quality in general for CD-Rs have been pretty consistent across the major brands.

    nothing wrong with sony, but they have other brands which are ok too for $9.99 for 100pk.

    I have a Pioneer and LiteOn drive and most times these CDRs won't write at the full speed. Usually they write at only 32X.

    What I don't understand is why DVDs and CDs have a close parity with price and yet DVD-DLs are still so expensive.

    #18 you hit a bottom pricing in which the manufactures can't make any money if they sell it any cheaper. The cheapest I have seen CDRs are at Microcenter for $5 per 50pk.

    The DVD DLs may cost more to manufacture.
