I agree. Why are CDs just as cheap/expensive as DVDs ? With DVDs coming down in price, you would think that CDs would be close to giveaway prices.

Don't forget that Yesbuy.net has 100 DVD cases for $9 or 100 paper CD envelopes for $5. Both appear on BensBargains right now.

I still use CD's all the time for music and burning linux live CDs to rescue old systems that don't have a DVD drive. I've never had good luck with sony, but only had good experiences with staples, so the risks kind of even out.

I agreed with #8, I used SONY CDRs before and had no issue.

It is not necessary to get the name brands CDR. Fry's GQ, $8 per 100, will do. DVDR is another story where I would stick with TY or Verbatim.

These CDs are just fine, but I also wondered why the prices for these never seem to get any less expensive. The free shipping on orders of $50 ruins the deal for me though.

i've had good luck with these but the quality in general for CD-Rs have been pretty consistent across the major brands.

nothing wrong with sony, but they have other brands which are ok too for $9.99 for 100pk.
try wait for a circuit city sale.

What I don't understand is why DVDs and CDs have a close parity with price and yet DVD-DLs are still so expensive.

The DVD DLs may cost more to manufacture.
