Buy.com has this Memorex DVD+R 8X Double Layer Media 8.5GB (1 x 50 Pack) Spindle for $32 + $0 shipping = $32 shipped. Even if you factor in the double capacity, the price/storage is still more than double that of single layer media. [Compare]

    Since when does idea of convenience not factor into value? And if you're going to knock its price in the post, why post it?

    Because some of us /need/ DL discs, even if theyre not economically superior.

    I think convenience doesnt factor in because its not worth the extra money to not have to swap a disc. For me anyway. I use DVD5 for data backup and DVD9 for xbox games.

    ive never had good luck with memorex and xbox games.

    1/3 doesn't work usually. sometimes more than that.

    100% of the singapore verbatims i have used worked.

    You need to take the chance with Memorex. My most recent purchase has turned 100% success burns. The previous batch was so terrible, I get 40% coasters. It's almost hit or miss on the most recent batch. Everything I purchased last year was perfect. Here are some of my most recent purchases with the code etched on discs:

    Purchased 2009:
    VK9S04-00392-L4: Perfect
    VR9S04-00392-F9: Garbage

    Purchased 2008:
    VR9S04-00392-1K: Perfect
    VR9S04-00392-36: Perfect
    L00126G20312: Perfect

    These are quite a bit more difficult to manufacture, hence the higher price

    these disks are terrible. I bought some last week and so far i have not had one successful burn out of 6 attempts. What a rip off.
