    Jessops just by the Molly Malone at the bottom of Grafton St. have spindle/cake boxes of 16x DVD-R's for €29.95 (or something like that).

    It's a budget brand obviously and I haven't tried them (didn't have the spare cash at the time), think they were called best buy or 'best' something with a .com & .co.uk web address (wish I had a camera phone!) but they looked okay.

    I've seena few places doing DVD+/- R's for under €25, but it's the first time I've seen faster than 4x for under €30. Actually it's the first time I've seen 16x's at all in a shop!

    Has anyone actually tried them yet?

    WOuld be nice to see how fast my new 16x burner actually is. :D

    16x discs are a scam
    No Dvd Writer can maintain a burn at 16x,it only reaches that speed for a short time.
    I've used a few 16x discs and the difference in time between a 16x and an 8x is marginal.
    I bought 25 16x discs off SVP for €12 so €30 is a rip off.

    fairynuff.

    seemed like a good idea at the time.

    speed might well depend on the drive as much as the discs anyway I'd say.

    im sure you meant well dude .but them 16x are not great.
