£17 for 10, and everyone guaranteed not to be a coaster!

Go and fill your pockets!

I fail to see how £1.70/disc is value for money.

http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk/

http://www.bigpockets.co.uk/

Both sell Riteks for 79p. Any problems just send the discs back.

Question

Thanks for those clickies

They're normally £34:99!! at Dixons

I am not interested in losing films and videos because of dodgy discs ..... all very well saying you get a replacement - if you've just spent 6 hours copying across some home videos it fails to mean anything.

I would rather pay £1:70 a disc and guarantee a sucessful disc - oh, yes, they also come in jewel cases! Non of this spindle crap Mind you, those Sony's for £1:47 a disc look good (unless theres a minimum order of 100 or somethin daft!)

I didn't know you could get DVD-R Burners that have a 0.16x speed setting.

Hello

I can never tell if you are serious or not!

Just in case you are: Dixons and PC World sell the same disks as the ones listed in all the links above. Unfortunately it's impossible to guarantee that things will not fail, and if they do then a replacement guarantee is the best you will get. I would quite like someone to compensate me for my time at, oh, about £300 an hour...

Steve.

I hear you now. It's a stand-alone rather than a drive.
