Buy.com has this Memorex DVD+R 8X Double Layer Media 8.5GB (1 x 50 Pack) Spindle for $33 + $0 shipping = $33 shipped. Even if you factor in the double capacity, the price/storage is still more than double that of single layer media.

    Just burn it at 2-4x and you'll never get a coaster

    Reports say these things work great for burning 360 games. For the .0001% that does this, for all others, stay away.

    #3 is likely to find out 6 months from now that all those that "burned" well probably will no longer play.

    At $0.66/disc this is the best deal I've ever seen on DL media. Too bad it's not Verbatim.

    I've had nothing but problems with these so I saw the people here who were having no problems burning at slower speeds, so I went ahead and got another batch.been burning them at 2.4x
    with no problems! Couldn't believe it. They even play on my sony stb which is picky...so I dont know how long the shelf life is but for now I am happy Smile

    Anybody have some quality scans of this media? I have some Office Deopt DL media that are RitekD01 that burned OK on my LG GGC-H20L (quality score=80). Playback was fine on my standalones (LG DN798, Toshiba HD-A3).

    I have been using the memorex single layer DVD Media for awhile and have had no problems. At this deal, I am going to go for the DL DVD
