I was wondering where on the net I can get a nice 50-100 spindle of 80 minute cdrs, the brand or type really doesn't matter. I remember back in the summer there was a good deal on outpost.com .. and if you bought yourself flooz you could manage to get 2 spindles of 100 or 50 or something for cheap... does anyone have any ideas?!

I can't really help on the online buying stuff. All I can say is that if you get a good deal on GOOD CDRs then go ahead. I you are getting CHEAP CDRs then buyer beware. When I tried to burn CDI files that where greater that ~720MB these cheap CDRs did not work, whatsoever ("not enough space on target media" in DJ3 and DJ2). I went out and got some slightly better ones and they worked great!

Cheap Brand: DataWare
Better Brand: Cursor

outpost.com regularly has 80 min cdr 50 paks for $15 overnighted free.

fuji 80 min which if made in japan are TY's (bext on the market) are regualrly on sale about once a month for $20 for a 50 pak and a $10 mail in rebate. best buy, comp. usa, circuit city and office max is where i have gotten these since september for this price.

also office max usually has the prime peripherals 50 pak of 80 min for $20. i got some for $15 a few weeks ago and again yesterday at staples and then a $10 mail in rebate.

i have used close to 500 of the prime peripherals and they have worked great for me.

but here is 1 thing. i went to copy sonic adventure and when i used the prime peripheral 80 min. it said it was not big enough and if i want to overburn, i said ok and it burnt and seems to work fine. when i used a fuji 80 min. there no popup saying that the disc was not big enough.

i hope this helps
