I never even heard of Mitsui media available in the USA, are these supposed to be good, are they MIJ or other? In the picture ot looks like a Taiyo Yuden spindle.

I think at one point Mitsui was rebadging TY media, so that could be what those are. I haven't asked the seller yet about the details, just posting FYI.

Those would be rare indeed, too bad they are dash media, I only use +. Thanks negritude.

Ignore the stock photo. It's wrong. These are RPW not RTW.

Good media but no way I am paying that much for 50 discs. Its good for someone that has not tried them, to me the premium discs from Rima are just as good, but thats just my opinion. Thanks for finding these though, you sure come up with some good ones.

Plus series should be all TY if MIJ, which these are.

That should have said: "...10x5-pack..." not 5x10-pack.

Yeah, TYG02, TYG03, and YUDEN000 T02 are easy to find, so I'm posting deals for those only when it's more of a novelty item, like the Fuji Color Towers, the Maxell Plus spindles, or the Microboards square packs.

It is TYG02 Perfect Quality but mixed with very bad disc
( 60% Good 40% very bad I check four 50disc spindles )
I don't know why ? ( Same Batch # and another four Digit # )

[jamescooley1]

Thanks for the info. guys.

60-pack (6x10 Snap 'N Save) TDK 16x DVD+R Scratchproof (MIT)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=130221441230

I was thinking about buying these myself, but they're MIT and not MIL (they were obviously made after Imation bought TDK). MID should be TDK 003.

100-pack of Mitsui 650MB/74min CD-R Media
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=110251922332

[negritude]

Not really rare, but getting harder to find, so I'm posting here as a record:

100-pack Verbatim 8x DVD+R Media
http://www.meritline.com/verbatim-8x...dia-94968.html

[negritude]

5-pack Pioneer 4x DVD-R Media
http://www.sjgreatdeals.com/tb-dvsr47bp5f.html

That's about the cheapest I've seen. Most charge $20. Item number is DVS-R47BP5F.

[negritude]

Wait, I found the 5-pack of Pioneer 4x DVD-R even cheaper:

$6.24 for a single Verbatim MediDisc?!?

SVP in the U.K. sell Verbatim MediDisc 8x DVD-R for £5.69 ($11.06) for a 10-pack.

This is a better deal:

50-pack Verbatim MediDisc 8x DVD-R
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=180243195332

And I wonder about this deal, because it's for an opened spindle, but the price is better:

45 pieces of Verbatim MediDisc 4x DVD-R White Inkjet Printable
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=250246549478

Note, I think the person selling the open spindle of 45 disks is MegaDeath.

Ask him for a CDFreaks discount.

Oops. I meant MegaDETH.

[negritude]

Well, the 45-disk opened MediDisc spindle sold, and the 10x5-pack of Plextors is also going to sell. MegaDETH is cleaning up.
