Buy.com has this Memorex DVD+R 8X Double Layer Media 8.5GB 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]

    Get a memorex burner and they work perfectly. Cheaper to invest in a compatible burner than invest in compatible dual layers for your current drive.

    Check newegg reviews. I was just looking for D/L disks a couple of days ago and was ready to buy these at $35. The more I looked the more it indicated that it would be a crap shoot as to whether or not you got a good spindle or a bad spindle. One guy said he got two spindles. One produced in Taiwan 100% failure rate the second produced elsewhere 100% fine. Since you cannot guarantee which disks you get it's not worth $30 to me to hope I get the good mfr. Good luck to those that purchase.

    as long as you have a decent burner these will work great. I've tried LG, liteon, pioneer.
