Newegg has this Memorex DVD+R 8X Double Layer Media 8.5GB (1 x 50 Pack) Spindle for $33 - 10% off coupon code BHD5279 [Exp 5/27] + $0 shipping = $30 shipped. Even if you factor in the double capacity, the price/storage is still more than double that of single layer media. [Compare]

    your right, memorex is a crappy brand, i went through a 50 pack and 10% of them worked, i switched to verbatim and never had a coaster.

    Bought it a few weeks ago at $33. Burnt 10 of them at 2.4x flawlessly with my Sony drive. Please burn it at slow speed, and that's it.

    Ive had nothing but coasters with these. I burn all my games at 1x speed, so I dont think the burn speed is the key. Probably they just rebrand whatever DL discs are cheapest at the time, and that leaves the consumer with the luck of the draw.

    #5, if you dont think burn speed is the key, why didn't you burn it at 8x as stated instead of 1x?

    My Pioneer has had not one coaster with these. Oh and Ben needs to update the picture as they now have new labels.

    I used to use Memorex DL all the time until they switched to the purple wrapping, then all of a sudden they wouldn't read. Disc after disc wasted by errors. Switched to Verbatim and it works great, so I'm over Memorex for good.
