Burning at 8x

[Justjson]

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me out. I have never burned a dvd before but am told I won't have a problem using my platinum dvd x-copy program. The problem is, I got a brand new Plextor 708-A drive that burns at 8x dvd+R. Because that is the fastest way to burn right now, I want to get media so I can burn at 8x DVD+R. The problem is, under "support" on the Plextor webpage, it lists all the 'recommended' media for my 708-A drive, and which ones can burn at 8x. Well I'll be damned, but I searched for hours EVERYWHERE for a 25 pack or more of cd's that can burn at 8x DVD+R's, and I could not find them anywhere, on any site. The only thing I kept coming across was Ritek 8x, and that was not one of the recommended brands. Now am I missing something, or what? Where can I get a pack of (4.7g is it?) 8x media that would allow me to make 1:1 full (including menu's) DVD burns? Any help is greatly appreciated.

P.S. The only blank cd media I ever DID see was a measly 5-pack offered on the plextor web site: http://www.plextorshop.com/product.asp?sku=2446921

It's only a five-pack, and they want an unheard average of $3.00 a cd.
