Buy.com has this Memorex DVD+R 8X Double Layer Media 8.5GB (2 x 25 Pack) Spindle for $30 with free shipping. Even if you factor in the double capacity, the price/storage is still more than double that of single layer media. [Compare]

    Worthless. They used to be good, but I had 100% failure on the last spindle I bought. I'll never buy Memorex again. So far I've been pretty lucky with Verbatim. A little more expensive but worth the peace of mind.

    These 8x disk will not play in the two DVD players I have. The disks will play K on my computer. The older 2.4x DL disk play fine on both my DVD players. This makes these disks use less to me. Beware of these disks.

    Bensie is out of his bloody mind. $30 for 100? Buy Frys house brand for about $8 on sale, and they all work, unlike these.

    these are cheap for dvd+r dl, but they're el cheapo chinese manufactured coasters in training. keep your 360 happy with some verbatims.

    50 pack? Man, thats two 25 packs. I know its a petty thing, but two quarters is not the same as one half-dollar coin.

    always burn at 2.4x. I remember when we were burning ps1 games and people were always pushing the verb kool aid then. It doesn't make a difference. I always went memorex and those disks are still going strong from 1998.

    I did buy tons of those el-cheapos three years ago and they were great, but Memorex changed suppliers and started selling sh!te under the exact same SKU, same packaging. You can't tell the bad ones from the good ones until you open the box. You're the noob #5.
