| I'm So Ashamed! I Bought TDKs! I know what I said before about TDKs, that they've gone straight to hell in the last few years, but CompUSA has a sale on the 30-pack of colored DVDs with "Snap 'N Save" cases for only $4.99, and they were so cute I just had to buy some! I thought they would be nice as a gift. I'm so ashamed! I chose looks over quality! Can you forgive me?! (BTW, the price works out to $0.17 per disk or $8.50 per 50 disks) CompUSA Link  |

| Re: I'm So Ashamed! I Bought TDKs! For that price i'd buy even Ritek G05  IMHO, just those cases alone were worth the price, so you could even throw out the discs if they're bad. But maybe you were lucky and got some Prodisc stuff what should be Ok (according to some members)

| Re: I'm So Ashamed! I Bought TDKs! Oh dear me. Negritude, what have you done? Mind you, they are funky, and if you get Prodisc you're lucky (although if you get CMC MAG. AM3 that's good, too).

| Re: I'm So Ashamed! I Bought TDKs! I bought the the +R version of that package at Staples about a year ago. Don't recall the price I paid, but it was low. They were CMC MAG M01 and mostly junk, but they did make attractive coasters.

| Re: I'm So Ashamed! I Bought TDKs! I think having to use those TDK discs may be punishment enough in itself!

| Re: I'm So Ashamed! I Bought TDKs! I have to make a confession: I bought a 30-pack of Memorex CDs at OfficeDepot today. I needed a "filler" to use a $10OFF$20 coupon and I grabbed a pack of memorex. I ask for your forgiveness and your understanding, it was just for the coupon, just for the damn coupon. |

It is not fair to yourself to feel ashamed for wasting few dollars (at worse) buying TKD. The price considering the fancy cases is not really that bad and burning quality if not shining atleast it would be acceptable. | |

| Re: I'm So Ashamed! I Bought TDKs! No fear negritude. I was reading user comments at Supermediastore re: TY valueline. Some dude said that the TY blew and that he recommended that everyone stick with Memorex DVD-R's. LOL that got a chuckle out of me.
