The objective of the Backup Forum as per the front page of the forums.xbox-scene.com is
"Technical and General discussion about DVD DL burning, and iso creation and manipulation for the purpose of archival backup of material you own. Hard Moderated."
"Technical and General discussion about DVD DL burning, and iso creation and manipulation for the purpose of archival backup of material you own. Hard Moderated."
It is not about the the best place to find DVDs and such discussions would fall outside the scope of this forum. On the other hand, so many of the problems we see here are coming from people using DVDs that do not produce adequate results, and often these are as expensive as the higher grade DVDs.
It is well recognize that the Verbatim +R DL are today (jan 2007) the best media for your X360 backups.
With the only objective to support the backup effort of the members with information to access adequate media at a price that is equivalent (or sometimes better) than some of the lower quality media, we could post here any deals we might see on the Verbatim +R DL Media.
In the context of how this barely fit in the scope of this forum, we must accept some rules:
1) All X-S rules are in effect.
2) When you see a good deal on verbatim and that you are not the party selling, plse post it.
3) If you own the DVDs or work for a party selling the dvds, then you are not allowed to post in this topic. In that case please go the B/S/T forum and post there (read carefully and comply to the rules of that forum).
4) Do not ask "Hi, Where can I find ... I leave in..." without searching the thread first or your post will be removed.
5) Do not post about other brand, unless it is one of the rare case of Verbatim inside (MKM00x)
The posts in this thread are obviously For Your Information only and anyone choosing to conduct any sort of transaction with any of the parties mentionned does so at their own risk and expense.
Enjoy, get the good stuff, it is worthed
.Note: There are sites like CDFreaks.com that are focused on CD/DVD/Burner and where you can find far more extensive information on DVD media and burner bargains (CD Freaks Bargain Basement).
WARNING: It was mentionned in another thread recently (and in some indutry sites including verbatim-outsources-double-layer-dvd-production-to-india ), it seems verbatim will start outsourcing part of his DVD +R DL production to MBI (Moser Baer India). You should start seeing these on the shelves end of Q1 or early Q2 2007. The current unconfirmed news are that they will continue to produce at their Singapore facilities as well. No word yet whether the production of the respective facilities will be assigned by region or not. It would be good to start looking at the label and search for a "Made in Singapore"
.Rgds, soso

and enter in your email addy (make sure you shipping address matches your newegg account shipping address)
Once that is done then go to http://www.newegg.com and select either the 2x 10 packs or the 20 pack of D/L Verbatim and then use the paypal option with the email addy/account that you entered in the link above to pay for it. Unfortunately there is no way to track this rebate. You will just recieve $15 in the mail at some point from paypal. Either way once all is said and done you will end up with 20 D/L Verbatim discs for just under $25 shipped. Best deal I have seen on them in a while.

Google Checkout $10
You can search though the google merchant stores, when you checkout at most not all they have the $10 off in the cart.. under thier checkout button on the site will be a google checkout button.
You need a gmail address to sign up for the offer.
It seems you can get a 3pack for 3.47 after the $10 with free ship from this site..there is a 10%off code as well just search google. http://www.shop4tech.com/?go=view_item&id=2623&r=183
Paypal deal is better, but google checkout could be used more than once if you have another credit card and email address.

However the going rate (In the UK) for Verbatim is around £17 for a 10pack (Rip Off!) . I personally have been using RIDISC / Datawrite media as it works fine and is only £6 for a box of 10. Look at DVD media reviews on these sites and many customers say stuff like "Works great on xbox 360" for various brands of media. I am sure Verbatim are very good but at a ripoff price of £17 compared to £6 they arent getting my business, even if you coaster a few on a cheap brand its still more cost effective.

Mine has been reading my DL Verbs perfectly for well over 2 months now. I have the Hitachi V47DJ drive. Which media are you currently using? As for rip-off pricing, well that depends. You can get DL Verbs from SVP in 20 packs For a little under 35 pounds (including shipping). Or you can get them from a friendly guy in the US who imports them for even less than that.

Anyways, for those of you who don't mind ordering in bulk I found a new deal for ya in the States:
10 packs of D/L Verbatim from http://www.officemax.com for $15+tax each
Order 4 packs or more and get free shipping (free shipping for orders of $50 or more at officemax.com)
Unfortunately you do have to pay state sales tax if you have an Officemax in your area but it essentially translates to the same deal as when the 20 packs go on sale at bestbuy for $30+tax each, and using this method you get it delivered directly to your door. 4 10 packs (or 40 discs) worked out to $63.56 shipped for me after tax or ($1.59 shipped per disc). No rebates or goofy one time coupons to get this deal. You just need to order 4 packs or more.

I looked on their website earlier today because I was wondering the same thing after reading about the office max deal on here, it also does not say anywhere on their website that this is a sale price. $1.50 a disc, and with jewel case, I think I will be buying my dl discs from there now.
They are not in the jewel case. They are in a small spindle of 10 and yes this does seem to be a nomal price for officemax. Now bring on the coupons so that we can get them for even cheaper.

Has now used by first 10 pack DL' - Verbatium - bought in London for GBP 14 in a small store next to Aldgate station in East London before I started the project.
But I don't live in London - I just go there on business from time to time. I live in Denmark - probably the country that has the highest taxes on DVD - ordinary single layer DVD's are EUr4 and up - I guess a DL would be EUR10 per piece at least. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
I have looked around on the net. My normal German supplier Nierle only sells Verbatium in single or 5 pieces - normally they are cheap, but not this time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Where should I go - any good webshops to recommend?
Especially suggestions that is located just south of the Danish/German boarder would be nice - I will go there in eastern.
p.s. Hope this treath do not offency any of the rules - As far as I could see it did not.
Lets find the best and cheapest supplier in EU (to prevent VAT issues etc.) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/love.gif)

Cheapest place by some margin was actually eBay - one of the sellers will do 20 spindle packs for £28.99 plus £4.99 postage, but the postage drops to £2.50 for any more packs bought.
The seller was called saskia73b and here's an example auction number: 160111303978
Having bought 2 of these, I've now found an even cheaper source by some margin.
http://www.wizardpri...-_storage_media
This place sells 10 packs for £10.33 including VAT - the postage is very high at £10, but this covers up to 30kg so if you buy a load of them, you'll save a fortune. I've just place an order for 20 cake tins and the postage is still £10 - can't find anywhere getting anywhere near this price.
Note: the website is dodgy, and will calculate the postage incorrectly (peaks at £30 after adding 12 or so, then stays at £30). However, if you place the order and then ring up the customer service number, they'll amend the order to £10 postage and refund the difference - I have an email to that effect from the customer service department who say the website gets 'confused'
Hope this helps someone.

The bad thing is that just a few are available in a few locations... So go to their site and look for the one that shows they have 1 available... But they should have more then one in store... But not many... One location I called had 13 of them left today...

If you order 4 packs or more (or if your local store happens to have them) you can get a better deal from Officemax. 10 packs for $15+tax each. If you order in large quantities then you can try tracking down a coupon and get them for quite cheap. I ordered 10 packs of 10 from them and used a $30 off $150 coupon and ended up paying roughly $1.28 a disc and they are the exact same things as those 30 packs at Sam's Club and are all made in Singapore. Don't quote me on this but methinks that Verbatim might do like Fujifilm and outsource their largest quantities to Moser Baer in India (ie 50 packs or larger) but the smaller quantities will still be made in Singapore. Verbatim did say that some production will still be handled by MKM in Singapore so they aren't ceasing all production.
TY JR777...
I had gone to Sam's yesterday and got 120 DVD+R DL's Verbatim's(Singapore) for about $1.80 per DVD-R DL after taxes... Thanks to u... I'll be returning them this week... Glad I hadn't opened any of them yet...
Thanks to u'r info I was able to call in an order to OfficeMax of 100 DVD+R DL's Verbatim's(Singapore) this morning and I was able to get the same discount of $30 off $150... Making my cost per DVD+R DL $1.31 after taxes... So u just saved me $50 bucks...
If anybody is in need of 100 DVD+R DL's Verbatim's(Singapore)... All u need to do to get this deal is to call the order in (1-877-OFFICEMAX) of 10 packs(If u order more then 10 packs... U won't save as much $$$)... And add a box of paper clips to go over the $150 mark... When I called the cheapest box of paper clips they had where $1.09... Do like if u'r ordering from their catalog and mention offer # 117980320402 ($30 off $150)... I found the offer # @ DealSPL. This is the only way I was able to get this deal since the coupon codes out there have already been used up... But they are taking the offer #... I should have my DVD's tomorrow..
After looking around the net for over week... This is the best price I was able to get...
TY for the hook up JR777...

For those of you with a microcenter in your area they do have the 20 packs of DL Verbatim for $28. You can order them as well (if you don't have one in your area) but you will have to add about $6 for shipping.

Thanks for the info jes. Rarely go to Microcenter, but it's on my way home.

I know this doesn't mean much to anyone else but my local Wal-Mart were selling 3 Packs of Verbatim DVD DL +R on a clearance rack for $6.00. I had to snatch some up.
At $2 a disc+tax that isn't much of a deal. Microcenter is under $1.70 a disc (with shipping included) and even less if you have one local. Newegg has them in 20 packs for $35 with shipping included or $1.75 a disc. There are always deals going. IMHO if you live in North America these days and pay more than $1.80 a disc for the regular DL Verbatim, you are getting ripped off.

Still ends up being just a bit cheaper if you order them through microcenter right now though. Under $34 shipped.
Just a tip for ppl going to Microcenter to pick some up. Call first to see if they have them in stock. If not, then order online for in store pickup. Might save you a wasted trip.

Or an internet shop that ships to Germany?
Everywhere it seems they only have those stupid printable ones...
Who the fuck does need those? When they were non-printable they were less expensive.
Also bloody jewel cases cost a hell of a money...
So somehow DL got more expensive in the last couple of month.
At least here in Germoney...

Will this work as on the coupon itself it says no copies/facsimiles? I guess either hit or miss.

Sorry about that mate. Sucks.
Newegg has the same 20 Pack DVD+R DL Verbatim for $34.99 with Free Shipping / No Taxes.
I paid $31 & change at Best Buy - for a couple bucks more - I'd say grab 'em at Newegg.Com now.

As mentioned in another thread, a number of the 25 packs of DL Sony DVD+R are now Made In Singapore and carry the MKM001 code (in otherwords it is the exact same media as the Verbatim DL DVD+R that we all covet).
Bestbuy has them on sale for $30 this week. Works out to under $1.30 a disc and if you happen to snag the ones that are MIS it is a pretty good deal as you don't have to buy them in crazy quantities to get them that cheap. Just be sure to check the country of origin on the spindle.

Now if you guys really want to save money on these DVD DL .
1. Print out the BestBuy add with the price of the Verbatim DL DVD's
2. Print out the coupon that is mentioned in this thread
http://forums.slickd...fice max coupon
3. Head over to OfficeMax and grab the exact same pack that's on sale at BestBuy.
4. Tell the Cashier at OfficeMax to do a price match for the DL DVD's
5. The Cashier should give you the same price ($29.99)
6. After she does the price match present the coupon to her and you should get $10 off your purchase .
(note: One coupon per person)
P.S. It's a little bit of a hassle but it brings down the price to about $1.00 each. I walked out with 3 (20) packs of DL DVD for only $64. (with tax)

Unfortunately that is now the gamble that we all take when ordering Verbs online since some of the production is now in India. I can only hope that this will help contribute to the lowering of cost on the Verbatim discs as a whole.

There is also another person selling the same item for 32 dollars plus 6.50 for priority shipping, only 17 packs left, and auction goes on until Monday night or so.

The folks over at cdfreaks have analyzed them pretty extensively and it's hit and miss with the MII Verbs. If they are decent quality then there isn't much difference between them and their top quality Singapore produced counterparts. HOWEVER, if they are of bad quality then they are worse than the cheap quality DL media that is out there.

If you see my other thread I had this whole ordeal with Memorex DL. This was my third spindle and for some reason it didnt want to make anything work. Out of the 20 I had only 1/4 of them worked
So I will no longer take the chance and stick to verbs

Thing is that I can get (non-printable) MIS Verbatim or MIS Sony DL DVD+R for under $1.60 a disc. The last couple of times I bought it was actually under $1.30 a disc. That is a pretty steep price margin by comparison. Sorry about the confusion but I was comparing printable to non-printable of the same quality media.

Thing is that I can get (non-printable) MIS Verbatim or MIS Sony DL DVD+R for under $1.60 a disc. The last couple of times I bought it was actually under $1.30 a disc. That is a pretty steep price margin by comparison. Sorry about the confusion but I was comparing printable to non-printable of the same quality media.

I suppose I could be really anal and start comparing the cost of Inkjet Refills to the cost of a sharpie marker, but to each their own. @carwarr if you happen to have a microcenter nearby, you can save some cash AND sift through and find the MIS packs. If not you can still save over newegg by ordering from them.

I was placing another order online with newegg (open box 500G network drive for $124!!! What a deal!) and just thought I would chance it for the MIS discs again.
The only disappointing thing is the MII discs show up as MKM001 with DVDinfopro. I was hoping they would use a different ID so we could tell them apart after we burn them, but now I have to write (with a sharpie! hehe) MII so I can keep track for future failures. If the MII media ends up not being as good as the MIS, I am afraid it will start giving Verbatim a bad rap because the average person will not know what they burned in the first place.
Thanks again.

Well, I got 36 ink cartridges for Epson 320 Photo from Meritline for $16 shipped. That was at least a year ago, and I've only used six of them so far. I think I'll be ok on the ink.

Yeah, most of us were kinda perturbed when it became known that the MII discs show up as the same manufacturer info. The only way to tell them apart is by looking at the country of origin on the spindle. Thus far the scans and the longevity on the MII discs have definitely fallen short of their MIS counterparts. Some of them burn pretty well (very similar to the MIS stuff) but a number of them are actually showing up worse than some of the other cheap quality DL media manufacturers. There were also several early reports of scuffed discs coming out of the MII spindles straight from the factory. I personally won't take a gamble on them unless they go on sale for less than $1USD per disc. Thing that really irritates me is that MKM (Verbatim) started doing this in order to help drive down the costs on production, thereby making the overall costs a bit cheaper for customers and increasing sales. Thus far I have yet to see any sales on Verbatim that beat the ones that have been going on for the last year or two, yet we are now subject to media that is overall inferior in quality to the guaranteed MIS MKM (Verbatim) discs that we were picking up a year or so ago. Here is an interesting read on some personal experiences with MII DL Verbatim:

Yes and because thus far all of the 8x official rated media is still only trusted to the home plant in Singapore. @streetmedic any Verbatim DL DVD+R MADE IN SINGAPORE will be excellent regardless of quantity. Problem is that with ordering online these days it is impossible to tell weather you are getting the ones made In India or the ones made in Singapore. Not unless you order the 8x official rated ones which can be quite pricey unless you get them at the microcenter sale. @$tate those definitely are NOT MKM001. Looks like a lame attempt at a fake.

To Whom It May Concern:
First of all I would like to congratulate you folks on setting the standard for quality Double Layer DVD+R media. No other manufacturer has come close to the quality and compatibility that your double layer media produced by your Mitsubishi Kagaku Media home plant in Singapore can.
With that being said, I do wish to voice concern over recent developments, particularly with your outsourcing some of your DL media production to Moser Baer in India. The initial reason for doing so was in order to lower production costs. Obviously this CANNOT be done without some sort of sacrifice in quality. You did this a few years ago with your single layer DVD media. In the case of the single layer media the process worked well as you were still able to maintain a fairly high quality product but you were able to drastically lower the costs and thereby make the single layer DVD media more affordable. In the case of your Double Layer media production however, I am finding it increasingly difficult to support your decision to switch. I remember a year ago when sales on your double layer media were widespread and one could easily find your high quality Singapore produced MKM001 DL Discs for around $1.40-$1.60 a disc between online deals and in store sales. However since the outsourcing of your DL media production to Moser Baer, I find myself feeling cheated on both fronts. Numerous reports will attest that the Moser Baer produced discs are of significantly inferior quality. Examples including scratched/scuffed discs from the factory, fingerprint smudges (from the factory), spotting in the dye and a huge disparity in PIF/PIE scans between the Singapore produced and Moser Baer produced MKM discs. The Moser Baer produced discs have a huge range in quality. From being close in quality to the Singapore produced discs to being far worse than the general quality and compatibility that can be expected from Taiwanese Manufacturers such as Ritek and CMC Magnetics. If you have taken a look at the track record of either Ritek or CMC Magnetics' DL media production, you know that they certainly are not any benchmarks for quality or compatibility. So to be faced with a product from you (that carries the Verbatim label AND PRICE-TAG) that varies so widely in quality is just unacceptable in my opinion. Couple this with the fact that the frequent sales that I enjoyed a year or so ago have all but disappeared and now I am lucky to find your discs in the $2 per disc price range and I no longer have the luxury of ordering online since I refuse to take the chance of playing russian roulette with your Moser Baer produced DL discs. Quite frankly they are just too expensive to take that risk. So from the point of the consumer, I feel not only cheated in terms of the quality and compatibility of your product, but I feel cheated in terms of the price I pay for it.
Once again to put this into perspective. Last year I was paying $1.40-$1.60 a disc for the highest quality DL media available and now I am lucky to find them for $2 a disc and am subjected to taking my chances with a manufacturer that clearly has poor quality control. I'm not saying your home plant in Singapore NEVER has any quality control issues, I am merely saying that the frequency of faulty and incompatible discs has increased much more so than it should've and thus far the customer is seeing no price benefit for the switch. I also understand that the average consumer is not a media enthusiast such as myself and knows precious little about name brand's outsoucing to different manufacturers with differing quality control standards. However, I am not alone and the number of folks who share my views grow with each passing day. I know that you have the ability to put pressure on both your manufacturers and the retailers. Let's see if we can't raise the quality standards or lower the pricetag (or maybe a little bit of both). I would like to be able to continue to recommend your products to people as being the benchmark of quality for media. Let's make it happen.
Thank You for your time.

I order one pack of twenties about a month ago from this exact seller (but they mistakenly shipped me 2 20 packs....LOL), but I found out that they are made in INDIA and NOT in Singapore.
Well I'm NOT using a recommended pioneer burner (using the TSTCorp burner that comes with current hp laptops), but I have had problems with some of these discs. Sometimes the burned backups work flawlessly all the time, but then some other backups don't boot at all with these discs. Then there was this one time were it the disk couldn't be finalized during a burn.
So there are mixed results.
But at the same time the backups that were made from a 5 packs of Verbs 10x (or was is 8x) that I bought from Best Buy all burned and works perfectly everytime, and those discs were made in Singapore.
Now I'm not discouraging anyone from purchasing these, because i think they are a great deal. In fact I'd probably buy some more if I ever ran out.

Couple that with the 10% off coupon that is available and you and you can get them for just under $2 per disc. Once again it's not the best price we have seen on MIS Verbatims, but given the lack of sales as of late and the fact that many locations are stuck with Made In India discs on the regular 2.4x ones, it isn't a bad deal.

I was just about to post the price tonight when i saw Jester was already on top of it. Regular price for same pack at Office Max was 39.99. I think that second link for a coupon is for 2005 though,

You will be guarenteed Made in Singapore. The 15x orange spindles are 8x rated and are all made in singapore. You may want to head in a store though, b/c then you can use the 10% off any single item, bringing it down to $26.99 + tax.

It's a bit of a crapshoot again but here it is: Best Buy has the 25 packs of Sony DL DVD+R discs on sale again for $30. Remember that SOME of these packs are made by MKM in Singapore (same as the most coveted Verbatims that are out there). So it might be worth taking a look at that price. You will have to purchase locally and be sure to check near the UPC symbol for the country of origin.
thats a great deal.. you mean that they are the same media as verbatim if I find one thats made in singapore?.

Watch out for the ultra common Taiwanese made packs though as they are just rebranded Ritek which have very mixed results. Anyways not sure if this coupon will work as it doesn't specifically list media but it might be worth a shot. Here it is:

Wait so you are telling me that you found some orange label 8x official rated discs (15 packs) that were MII? I have never heard of this before so I would like some confirmation. It's a well known fact that the 2.4x official rated discs that overspeed to 8x are almost all MII these days but I have yet to hear of any reports of any 8x official MII discs.

No, sorry for any misinterpretations I caused, the Verbatims DVD+r DL with the "blue label" I saw at the Bestbuy stores in my area were 6x speed "made in India".
They did not have the 8x speed Verbatims.
I understand now that the Verbatims @8x speed DVD+R DL are "always made in Singapore" with the "orange label".

Anyways, glad you got that sorted. You were starting to freak me out as I thought Verbatim had really gone off the deep-end and outsourced their premier line to Moser Baer in India as well. That would truly be some scary media. Yeah, the deal is that blue/purple label stuff is officially rated at 2.4x but should overspeed to 6x (used to be 8x when they were MIS) on some DVD Burners. The 8x official stuff will burn at 8x on any burner that supports 8x or higher and on some burners they will burn at up to 10x.QUOTE(mr_ragh @ Nov 27 2007, 06:50 PM)

The coupon that I have linked to up there doesn't expire until the 31st of THIS year. You might have gotten the older one that I had listed earlier by mistake.

for absolute quality and no concern of speed of burn, what speed is best to burn the 8x verbs? I always burn at 2.4X and havnt had problems, but I wonder if quality would actually improve if I burn faster?
Won't change much either way. I haven't burned any slower than 4x and I have burned up to 8x with no problems on the MIS discs.

Uh, it won't do any good unless Verbatim actually switches their 2.4x official DL media production back to Singapore. If major retailers and consumers start putting pressure on them about this though, we might see a switch but I doubt it.

Nope they are still MIS it's just that Verbatim is now doing uniform packaging on their spindles. Been to Bestbuy lately and seen the new stock of 8x official rated discs which look exactly like the one I have linked and they are ALL MIS. Take the plunge without fear and get a great deal.

Actually it comes out to about $30 AR when you factor in shipping. Not worth it at all especially given the buy.com deal listed above on the 8x official media which is all MIS (the ones you have listed are almost all MII these days). $21.49 for 15 with shipping included and after using google checkout (so this is your total out of pocket expense to get it shipped to your door). $15.49 for 15 with shipping after getting the $6 Mail In Rebate.

Well, I guess Im just biased towards Newegg since shipping is less than a day for me for anything, so I always will use them. They have a warehouse about an hour and a half from my house so shipping is a non issue for me all the time, but that other deal is really good.

how do they compare to the likes of Memorex, which by the way has never failed me (yet).

i just got my from buy.com. shipping was super fast. but i gotta question on the rebate. i didnt see any rebate form that came with the package.. i assume they send the check later?
thanks...
No, go to the website and select the product and click on the $6MIR that they mention. It should give you a link to the MIR form and then you just print it out and follow the instructions.

Nice, but I'll bet he won't do that for everyone who asks.
This is about a month late getting back on this but in regards to the ebay sale I had mentioned he sent me 4 packs of MII. I emailed him & he was great about exchanging for MIS, he even paid the return shipping for the ones I had to send back. Not sure if he still has auctions for these things but if he does I wouldn't hesitate to order. I would specify that I wanted MIS to make things easier though.

Once again though, not worth it when you consider the buy.com on the 8x official (guaranteed MIS) discs that I mentioned. It is still running and it is definitely cheaper than what that guy is selling them for. You also have to consider that the 2.4x official discs are no longer in production at the Singapore plant so unless he has a bunch of old stock lying around he probably wouldn't be able to swap for much longer.

Well the buy.com price is up to just over $34 now & no mention of a rebate on the page. Looked at rebate section on site & saw other Verb. rebates but nothing for these. They do have free shipping though but if you've already used google checkout they're a little over $2 a disc.
The guy that had the auction I bought from still has 20 packs but they no longer say MIS anywhere on the page. He does however have 10 packs that are still MIS, not great price but not bad, about $21 w/shipping(discount for additional items). So once again about $2 a disc. I guess you could always email him and see if he could guarantee MIS for the 20 packs which would be a better deal then the 10 packs he has. I had a great experience dealing with him so if he has any old ones laying around he may help you out. Glad I bought 4 20 packs when I did!

I could care less about the looks since it goes straight from my folder to the 360 and right back into the folder, but as for what they are: Thus far all reports on the IJ Printable DL Verbatim are that they are still all made in Singapore. So you should be safe with purchasing them.

Those are all I use with the 360. They read well in the BenQ and ink nicely with an Epson printer. I wouldn't mind saving some money with another brand, but no one here ever mentions anything positive about another brand of dual-layer printables (probably because they get shouted down if they attempt to do so).

Or because they know that like their non-printable counterparts that results are mixed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Singapore produced MKM is still the only universal DL media option out there.

thank you very much for this link. i was able to order through the Canadian site, and use the USA checkout option; they just changed the CAD to USD (19.99 USD vs 19.99 CAD). still significantly cheaper than US prices, just under $53 USD shipped for 2 stacks, compared to 35-40+ USD per stack + shipping & tax here in the US.

So a total of 10 discs for $30 and then add the $25 off coupon at checkout. Gives you the 10 discs for $5+$5 shipping. So it comes out to about $11-$12 by the time you purchase the coupon code and get the discs. Not bad considering it's $1.10-$1.20 per disc and you get that price up-front, no rebates.

probably not likely you will find a MIS stack at BB, but it may be worth a look if you are already there or in the area.

The Verbatim 50 packs at Sams Club are MII discs and are spotty at best when it comes to quality. In my experience with them, maybe 1 in 4-6 discs will work for backups. I tried 2 50 packs and took them both back for refund.
I don't think I've ever had a MIS Verbatim backup that didn't work.

So far so good.

Now, these have the new outside on them however when I went in store they were "Made in Singapore" on the outer packaging. The top side of the disc is different than the older 2.4x but they appear to work just fine.
This is a great deal however I would suggest you go in person if you can just to make certain.

So if you want MIS I suggest going into a real store and just digging around...it looks like they all came from Verbatim in the same box but there were just randomly a few MIS spindles. Dunno if they're just clearing out old stock or if they'll still make more? Hopefully some badass new media comes out soon.

Probably wont have them at all after a little while, I dont understand how all the companies are making discs that are very unreliable??? Is it getting to the point where we better buy about 100 of these discs cause we may be left with NONE eventually?? very scary.

Just get the 50 pack from Sam's. I'm pretty sure you can get a free 1 day pass if you're not a member. They're rated at 2.4x, but I actually just burned a disc at 8x, since burning the old discs at "MAX" would always stop at 2.4x in the past. I've never tried the Made in India discs (and probably never will), but they are MKM discs according to the box (Verbatim is an MKM company), so I don't know if they're quite as shitty as everyone says they are. The Sony discs are absolute shit though, so don't even waste your time. My Sam's had about 12-18 boxes of the Verbatims on the shelf, and it was probably 66% MII and 34% MIS. If anyone lives in the Melbourne, FL area, go get the discs while you can.

All of the 8x official discs are guaranteed to be MIS, so no guesswork with the ones from buy.com. Not true with the 2.4x ones off of ebay, no matter what they claim.
Wait, you are telling me you got the 8x official discs and ended up with MII?
Yes, 8X and MII

Buy direct from NetSoftMedia, they are selling 20 Pack Made in Singapore for 36 dollars that includes fast shipping (USA): http://www.netsoftmedia.com/verbatim/verbatim95310.html
Okay, so I ordered from them on Monday morning (last week) and got them on Wed morning. The discs were made in Singapore, as Advertised, and they worked perfectly in the 360, 100 percent boot and smooth playing. The only coaster that I got was when my computer gave me the WinXp BSOD while writing a disc.
Compared to the Verbs made in India, the India ones where a trial and error, not all the discs would boot and play perfectly. This made me realize that it was the discs fault and not the laser or the burner. Somewhat of a relief.

Yeah, it's kind of hard to find the text saying "Made in India" or "Made in Singapore" when the font size is like 1.

The orange verbatims "which are nearly impossible to get at a decent price" are the only ones that work flawless for me so far. I wouldnt pay much for the Purple spindle singapore verb discs, for they have about the same quality as the india discs. And they look exactly like the india discs, if you look at the top of them, I dont think there is ANY diff in quality. Think about it, im about halfway through a 20 pack spindle and had 2 bad discs, thats no better than india purple spindle verb. Im sad to report this, but I wanted you guys to know. So as of right now it looks like we are stuck with getting about 10-20% coasters in our spindles.

Sorry to hear about your results.
Other than the disc that didn't burn right b/c my computer crapped out on me, all 14 out of 20 discs have worked flawlessly.
I hope none of the remaining 5 discs go bad.
In my opinion, I would blame the 360 drive for being so sensitive about reading any type of disc, where any random optical drive could read that disc perfectly.

Kinda OT, but Sony disks are like memorex/fuji and all the other non-oem brands in that they source their disks from various manufacturers. Sometimes Sony is Verbatims, sometimes they are others - one thing is different though from Sony and the others, the others grab the cheapest they can get (aka: the manufacturer wouldn't sell them as their own brand) and Sony tends to grab grade A only.
----
Just to put in my 2cents on the purple ringed verbatims (though not from that particular supplier), I picked up a 20 pack of 2.4x MIS with the new labels last week when they were on sale at futureshop and I can say they aren't nearly as good as the 8x disks (common consensus from most media forums is that the 8x ones are indeed the best ones currently), but they are definitely not anywhere close to as junky as the MII 2.4x ones with the old label (if you want to see the quality scans to prove it, just let me know.) 1 of 20 has a visible dye defect and I won't bother to burn it, no surface marring on any of them unlike the previous MII pack I had around Christmas time. One thing I do notice is the labeling on the disks is not as crisp as other verbatims I have used, almost like they applied a glossy layer over top of it.
The "moire" pattern mentioned above, if that showed up only after it was burned it is usually termed "propellering", which meant the disk wasn't balanced when it was burned (sometimes the disk is just bad, sometimes it is crud getting on your disk or your drives' spindle.) Otherwise, yeah, it was just a badly made disk that made it past QC.

Just to let you guys know I ordered a spindle from Netsoftmedia. So far I have two discs out of the spindle that DO NOT WORK. The first one if you look at the bottom of the disc, you know how it's purple?? there is a little spot where it was like extra dark where the material in the disc was missing in a small spot. Disc burnt but crapped out while using it on 360. 2nd disc, burnt fine, no missing spots but if you look at the buttom of the disc there is like a moire like faint bendy lines in the material. I looked at the bottom of the discs that worked great, no spots missing, no moire, or if there was moire it was nearly as bad. So it's not the retailers fault, im just saying the purple spindles of verb made in Singapore, for me they have about the same crap out ratio as the verb indias.
The orange verbatims "which are nearly impossible to get at a decent price" are the only ones that work flawless for me so far.

I bought some a 20 pack of those from Netsoft. All 20 100% working and I already ordered another pack and so far that pack is working beautifully to. Maybe your laser is going bad?

digitalman42: burn at 4x, count 95% success rate as pretty darn good, and try a burner that has never had a dual layer burned if you are still getting issues.

I'm not sure what you mean by buying a 15 pack instead. It is more than likely he just has an eye in his that is worse than yours. His best bet would be to buy a new eye for his. They're like $9 on ebay.

But, I have found that "www.blankmedia.ca" is the cheapest "consistent" place to pick them up.

is it a problem if it says verbatim 8X ? I mean you can still just set the writing speed to 2,4 right?
yeah, as long as they are the made in singapore ones you should be fine, my first pack was a 8x set with hard cases which even said it would support up to 10x speed on compatible burners, which i had at the time, but i used them to burn images at 2.4x and they all worked flawlessly, my most recent pack was a 20 pack that only said 4x i think, like the ones people are linking to at newegg, good ones if they are made in singapore

The manufacturing process is completely different. The layering which makes the Verbatim MIS discs the best DL discs available is not reproduced in any other facility in the world. That's why Verbatim MIS are better and more expensive. It's worth my peace of mind to pay a few cents extra.

The objective of the Backup Forum as per the front page of the forums.xbox-scene.com is
"Technical and General discussion about DVD DL burning, and iso creation and manipulation for the purpose of archival backup of material you own. Hard Moderated."
"Technical and General discussion about DVD DL burning, and iso creation and manipulation for the purpose of archival backup of material you own. Hard Moderated."
It is not about the the best place to find DVDs and such discussions would fall outside the scope of this forum. On the other hand, so many of the problems we see here are coming from people using DVDs that do not produce adequate results, and often these are as expensive as the higher grade DVDs.
It is well recognize that the Verbatim +R DL are today (jan 2007) the best media for your X360 backups.
With the only objective to support the backup effort of the members with information to access adequate media at a price that is equivalent (or sometimes better) than some of the lower quality media, we could post here any deals we might see on the Verbatim +R DL Media.
In the context of how this barely fit in the scope of this forum, we must accept some rules:
1) All X-S rules are in effect.
2) When you see a good deal on verbatim and that you are not the party selling, plse post it.
3) If you own the DVDs or work for a party selling the dvds, then you are not allowed to post in this topic. In that case please go the B/S/T forum and post there (read carefully and comply to the rules of that forum).
4) Do not ask "Hi, Where can I find ... I leave in..." without searching the thread first or your post will be removed.
5) Do not post about other brand, unless it is one of the rare case of Verbatim inside (MKM00x)
The posts in this thread are obviously For Your Information only and anyone choosing to conduct any sort of transaction with any of the parties mentionned does so at their own risk and expense.
Enjoy, get the good stuff, it is worthed
.Note: There are sites like CDFreaks.com that are focused on CD/DVD/Burner and where you can find far more extensive information on DVD media and burner bargains (CD Freaks Bargain Basement).
WARNING: It was mentionned in another thread recently (and in some indutry sites including verbatim-outsources-double-layer-dvd-production-to-india ), it seems verbatim will start outsourcing part of his DVD +R DL production to MBI (Moser Baer India). You should start seeing these on the shelves end of Q1 or early Q2 2007. The current unconfirmed news are that they will continue to produce at their Singapore facilities as well. No word yet whether the production of the respective facilities will be assigned by region or not. It would be good to start looking at the label and search for a "Made in Singapore"

Just searched through the reviews and 4 of the reviews say that the disc works fine with 360 burned at 4x. Its still cheap media so i would really only use them if you are backing up to a harddrive.

I normally use SVP, who state these sort of things, but they don't seem to be selling them at the moment and I can get them with free (or very cheap) P&P from other sites at the moment.

That offer had expired, and the 20-pack Verbatim discs were 25.99 with 3.99 shipping or something, but now they're at 24.99 with free shipping! I'll be getting at least 2 packs! Best Buy locally had them for $28-29 last time I was there.

I can't buy them for any cheaper than $3 per disc! And that's not even decent Verbatim discs!
