These aren't a bad price.

I'm waiting on some.

Sorry about that I missed the DL part. The only DL worth buying are Verbatin. Just look for a sale cause then you can get them for $20 for 10 at Best Buys.
If you like rebates you can try newegg.
Verbatim 8.5GB 8X DVD+R DL = $25.99 ($17.99 after $8.00 Mail-In Rebate)

Good luck.

Not to knock the other post, but I've had too much trouble with memorex blanks - ditched them for Ritek G05's which are vastly better, and cheaper too. Since Verbatim has come down in price by quite a bit, I almost use them exclusively now - including DL blanks, every 2-3 weeks I can get them from my local bestbuy store for about 2 bux each, or a spindle of 20 for $40.

Maybe you can say what burner you cause from what I seen and read Ritek DL are good coasters.

When they are on sale you can get them at the BB site online for the same price.
