38 cents, where ?

EDIT:

Found it:

BUDGET DVD-R 4x in 50 cakebox for 19.00

peckerhead

Now only e14.95...

Has anyone used these? How'd you find them?
Would Datawrite be a better deal at e7.90 for 25?

Ta. What do you make of their 'bundle' deal?

Bundle Deal: {DV 3237} Silver Topped Unbranded (2x) DVD-R and {DV 3202} Datawrite Titanium Silver 8x DVD-R
Buy the bundle and save 10%
£14.98 / Euro 21.78 for 100 discs, but then shipping brings it up to £27.91 / Euro 40.60...

Anyone know where I can get a Coupon Code for these guys?

You do realise that post was/is nearly a year old now don't you?

Why do people constantly buy such poor (Bulkwaq lifespan is surely less than 5 years) media for the sake of a few squids. :rolleyes:

www.mediawrite.ie guys, company based in cork with a great selection of all types of media

This site is handy as it has a huge list of diffent types of dvd media that you can cross reference to see whether a particular brand are of high quality.

peckerhead

Thanks guys (especially for that second link, kinkstr - very useful!)

I know it can be shortsighted to buy lower-quality discs if you want them to last, but tbh a lot of my backups are just crappy films/games-of-the-month for the kids. I don't really care if they don't last for years and years. :rolleyes:

Had a quick look around eBay and came across this seller - think I might set a sniper on a few of his €1-start auctions..!

mediawrite.ie i got some a while back and its the cheapest on the net cos shipping is only €5.35 for as much as you want

kinkstr

no probs peckerhead, id reccomend mediawrite, i remember the last time i ordered late on a wednesday nite and my delivery arrived on the friday (50 datawrite 8x dvd+r orange), have used about 20 so far with no bad discs if thats any help

The only problem i found with buying cheap dvd's is they scratch just by looking at them. i think you are better off going for a bit of quality in a blank dvd

Does that really matter though?

When blue ray / 45 gig HD DVD becomes cheap i intend to transfer
all my burnt DVDs over to those disks.

That is definately going to happen within 5 years.

But then again....thats just me....:rolleyes:

PS, I agree with out about buying crap, all those silver cheap CDs
i bought 2 years ago are now gone yellow and are rotting! :eek:
But most of them are transfered to DVD.

I prefer the printable discs than silver tops, my silver cds all end up peeling. The printable surface is thick and stops scratches and the white makes it nice for writing on, I have used the {DV 3187} Rivision Inkjet Printable (8x) DVD-R in Spindle Tubs of 25 for €6.20 and they work in all the players I have tried, (about 15).

coupon codes for SVP are usually only given at teh weekends, join their mailing list to get the codes emailed to you, I usually post them here when I get them, they generally have them every 1-2months, but have had more lately. Post stays the same up to a high weight. They have lots of dirt cheap cases, folders, cables, pens too, so get value for your postage. Ask mates or people in work if they want discs to go splits on post. Many people would want the dirt cheap folders that hold 100's of blanks

Thanks again, rubadub...

sailorboy

printable are for sure the best..
and the bundle deal is ok but there not the greatest dye to be honest.

just call up to tallaght. i sell them to the boys on here.
only the best g05 dye. datarite and the likes are an ok disc for storing temp stuff. if you want a disc for long term stick with riteks.
can possibly meet in town.
