Very hot prices on Verbatim DVD-DL, -R +R 16x and more at Staples

Staples has just clearanced their Verbatim 3 pack and 10 pack discs.

Examples:

Dual Layer 3 pack = $5.50 ($1.83 a disc!)

dvd+r or dvd-r 10 pack 16x = $2.50 ($12.50 for 50!)

dvd+r 10 pack lightscribe = $3.50 ($17.50 for 50!)

cd-r 10 pack lightscribe = $2.50 ($12.50 for 50)

These are fantastic prices for high quality discs. My Staples had lots of them left today.

Ignore the in-store price stickers if they are listed higher. These will scan at the prices listed above nationwide.

My Staples had the DVD 10 pack with a price above for $9.99. I took it to the register and it scanned $2.50 so I bought 3 of them.

Thanks

Reportedly, Staples has 30pk Fuji 8x DVD+R or DVD-R discs for $9. I believe these are TY discs if it says "Made in Japan".

You can't talk about backups here. If you do, the thread will be closed. Please stop.

Um, by the way, you have to have a DVD burner that can handle dual-layer DVDs, right? You can't just assume your DVD burner can handle them unless your burner specifically states that it is dual-layer capable, right?

Correct and correct. You need a DL drive.

Thanks for the heads-up OP! I'm gonna head out to staples after work.

Every store in Manhattan is sold out. I just got the last one here. They all knew about it apparently...which sucks. One guy said he put out a ton of them this morning and someone came in and bought almost all of them. They were gone almost immediately. *sigh*
Isn't this a sign that they need to drop the goddamn prices on these things???

In any case, would anyone be able to pick me up a few? I will pay you for your trouble...plus throw in a few extras for good boys and girls.

Thanks eau.

I struck out on the Verbatim sale in Madison, WI (both stores), but I did pickup a few spindles from their Fuji sale.

"Made in Japan" does indeed mean TY. And I just checked them in my DVD-ROM and they are indeed TY discs. Not a bad deal at all.

Download Infotool from Nero website. It will tell you a lot of details about your drive.
