Yeah I saw that too. Pretty good deal but you can get a 25 pack of 4x Ritek DVD-Rs from Rima.com for about $39 with ground shipping included.

Thats $9 higher. Alot of peeps just want to walk into store and burn when they get home. I have 4X burners and burn at 2X anyway.

Umm. The Price I gave was with shipping. The Price you gave was before tax. Not saying that it is a bad deal. I just think that it is worth the extra $7 or so (and a few days of shipping) to have quality 4x discs vs. quality 2x discs. That is a great deal for those who don't buy online though.

Umm. Lets see, pay $7 more, wait up to 7 days for ground shipping when you're going to burn at quality 2X anyway and you can do it today, no thanks!
My original post wasn't meant as a lowest possible price deal. It was meant for what it is. A good deal for people who don't need 100 discs and want them NOW and gonna burn at 2X and for a price that rivals online for good media. One thing (walk-in vs. online) has nothing to do with the other.

I said it was a great deal for those who want to burn at 2x. I personally like to burn at 4x and have no trouble with it.
