| Use these to copy Sony Pictures DVDs to thank them for the rootkit. |

While +R is theoretically better in the lab, it doesn't necessarily hold true in the real world.
The brand/quality of the media is more important than any differences between -R & +R. It also depends on what drive you create them with and what you are going to read them on. Personally, I've had better luck/compatibility with -R disks for movies, but that could be due to my older NEC and Pioneer burners that have good support for -R disks. Assuming the exact same quality of media, +R should have a slight edge for data disk (read/write on the computer), and -R should have an edge for movie playback in older DVD players. |

nutzo: agreed. i just wanted to see how many people would be quick to defend DVD-R with their personal anecdotes.
DVD+R is a better spec (which is all my aforementioned link's technical garbly-gook means), but real-world factors usual overcome the on-paper differences. ispeakathetrutha: my advice is go to http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia, look up the particular media you are interested in (http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia/sony-dvd-r-sony16d1-16/3192 & http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia/sony-dvd-r-sony-d21-16/2967), and see if anybody says anything about their experience with your burner and/or player model/brand, as those, after disc quality, will be the two most limiting factors. |

| Just bought 2 pack from Costco with coupon |

| The DVD-R/+R packs which Costco sells are HUB INKJET PRINTABLE which, if you have an Epson or HP Direct-to-Disc printable printer is really nice. It's also easier to write on the printable surface with a ball pen or sharpie. Plus, Costco sells both the DVD+R and DVD-R. My local Costco was actually sold out this week. I've already got two cake boxes sitting on my shelf from the last sale though, so no rush. I personally like the Sony discs and have had pretty good success with them. TDK also makes a good disc but theirs was not HUB printable (larger 24mm ΓΈ non printable region). |

| You don't need coupon to get 1 free at Costco.Cashier told me, it will automatic deduct 1 pack when they scan both.One transaction per day per account.if you need to get more,come back next day. |
| #12 angrymutt88 - Posted 11:36 pm PST 01/10/09 |
| Everything in the costco mailer does not require the coupon at the stores. All the savings was taken automatically. Now is a good time to stock up on anything you need there. |
