Last week Bestbuy had the Verbs on sale in 10 packs for $20+tax. So they can be had for even cheaper. I agree though that anything but a Verbatim for double layer is a waste of money. As for
HD DVD and Blu-ray? Well that may be true that the D/L format won't get a very long run but come on. I have yet to see a HD DVD or Blu-ray burner that is under $1K and the discs are somewhere in the $20-$30 a peice range. When you consider that high quality D/L burners can be had for $40-$50 (shipped) or less and quality double layer media (ie Verbatim) can be had for about $2 a disc when on sale, it hardly seems like the other is going to take over anytime in the near future. I say D/L will be around for another 2-3 years at least.
