I'm coming to the end of my 50 DVD spindle and was wondering where you guys buy your blanks. I need Ritek dye or equivalent obviously ;)

Recommendations of online bargains please. I only need 4x. I don't care if they are + or -

Thanks in advance ToaD :)
 
I buy all my stuff at Aldi! (I really do, their CDs are cheapo and out of the 100s of cds ive got only one has been dodgy (well some have failed buy my drive is dying). The dodgy one had nout on it, just a translucent disk :s

£5. But if you buy in bulk, that is not too bad. If you spend over £70 you also get a 1% discount, and the discount slowly increases the more you spend.
If you have alot of money why not buy in bulk, and save yourself lots of money in the future. :p :D

Over £70!!! :blink: Blimey how much downloading do you do? :D

I think I'll buy a hundred off them. That'll keep me going for ages :)
Not that much (a couple of GB a day... heh), but I used to copy every single DVD that entered my house *cough*thankyouscreenselect*cough*.

I ordered 150 Ridisc from SVP. They cost 38 quid odd including VAT and P&P and I have the piece of mind that they listed my drive as compatible.

I use Datawrite disks, they are solid.

I've burned over 2000 Datawrite Greys (-r, 8x) and the only failures are the ones caused by my own lameness.

Datawrite Yellow (+r,8x) dvd's are what I use at work, they never fail, and one of my workmates swears by the Titanium (+r,8x) ones.

I must start buying 16x disks now the prices are coming down. though at £18 for 100 8x and £13 for 50 16x its still quite a price hike to save 3 mins a disk.

Avoid BulkPaq, I got 100 of those once, coastered nearly 50% of them.

Are you by any chance a chav (joking), I used to live in Hull, I remember Aldi selling torn cat litter bags running into torn flour bags, and £1.99 three man tents (gay!)
have they finished the roadworks near pearson park?
I used to live on a landfill site. Do you know Fred Bloggs (don't be ashamed to admit he's you)
I hear they added an extra elecric fence to endeavour prison/school, no doubt you went to highoncrackmers
