I know a place that does 50 for 46$ but they only burn in 1x in my sony dru500 (which is 4x)
So anyone know of 50 for 50$ (hopefully shipped) that at least burn in 2x and reads in xbox ?
I live in oregon so anywhere close would be great.
THANK YOU in advance!
Majik

| id like to say for one that the speed at which u burn means jack shit. ill guarrantee that if u burned 5 games at 4x all would turn out good. |
this is true. 2x is great for me.. I would hate to see what the prices are for 4x media.
THANK YOU for all the replies.

| www.allmediaoutlet.com has both the 1x/2x Ritek silver tops for $1.24 a disc or less (I ordered from them on Friday and yes they actually have them instock). The 4x discs are a little over $2 a disc with shipping. By the way for those of you who are interested Officemax has the high quality 4x fujifilm DVD-R discs on sale this week a 10 pack for $25. I have been using them for movies and they play perfectly in my V1.0 xbox with a philips dvd drive, my V30001R PS2, a Version 3 PS2 and a couple of other players that I have tried as well. The extra $ are worth it if you want a 4x disc that works well. |
I called officemax and they said they were not 4x compatible. I don't know if I should trust you or someone making $7 at officemax.

I know what you guys are talking about ..with some not knowing if they are 4x or what their speeds are for that matter...
I have been going here...
DVD-r seller
they were ok 50 for 46$ ..50$ with shipping..BUT they are 1x...
Then I came across someone that said theirs burns at 2x and are also 50 for 50$.
this is a GREAT deal I believe...
Here's the thing.. long story short.. one guy went to get them from I believe COMP USA or something.. like that..
and the people behind the counter INSISTS they were 1x ONLY.. now these dvd-r's don't have any writing on them.. and I wanted to ask them how in the hell they know?? Do they have a dvd burner .. NO..
Anyway YES they do burn at 2x and they work GREAT.
if I only knew what they were.. I will post when I find out..
Anyway.. DON't trust 7$ /hr workers at these stores .. unless they own a burner!

80 cents a DVD-R and burn @ 1x which you should burn xbox games at that speed anyways.

| Hmm, I haven't actually used them for games yet, but the last 5 dvd movies that I have made definitely burned at 4x. It burned a movie that was about an 1 hour and a half in about 25 minutes. If the disc couldn't support a 4x burn then why did it burn this fast and why do they play perfectly. |
Well I bought a 50 pack of these from meritline, and they work great on both my thomson xbox and pioneer dvd player. At TRUE 4x speeds, I've burned 4.48gigs in under 15 minutes with my A05 using record now max 4.5. These disks rock for the extra money. Instead of cranking out 1 disk an hour, I'm cranking 4 disks in an hour!! Time is money too gentleman.

You couldn't be more wrong with that statement.
