    Smile Best price on Verbatim DL discs for back Up

    Howdy,
    Where is the best place to get some good quality Dual layer Verbatims discs. These are for the Back up process for Xbox 360. I am aware of cheap imitations going around so I hope someone steers me in the right place.

    25 Ridata DL +R for $24 at MSY. They work fine for what I am assuming is X360 Backups. Been using them for years. Personally I'd save your money. I know Verbatim are the best, but really a difference in price. Just a thought.

    Well the ones I have say Ritek but I think Ritek and Ridata are the same. I have burnt over 50 of the buggers and have had none fail as yet. Must be something you are doing wrong mate. Sorry to hear that!! And they were less then a dollar a disc. But I have noticed they have gone up a little now they are $26 for 25 discs. Still much better for the back pocket then verbatim.

    I currently have 5 packs of Verbatim 20 DVD+R DL Printable Spindle packs.
    The good Singapore ones not the Indian ones.
    I'll do them for Austech members at $55 per spindle with free postage.
    PM me if you are interested

    I get made in Singapore 25 packs for $58 from my local computer shop.
    25 packs are wide printable.
    20 packs are non wide standard size printable.

    My opinion on Riteks DVD +R media for xbox 360

    I have tried Ritek on my 360 Benq and it can handle them no problem. Always burn at 4x though.
    Older xbox drives usually have problems with Riteks thats why 360 users prefer Verbatim media as its is know to work fine on all 360 drive brands..

    I found that these worked on my 360 by mistake, I use them for 'other' purposes and dropped one in when doing an image by mistake and it works just fine, I too normally use the verbatims.

    If they are the same batch that I rushed into purchasing, then they will be the non printable type.
    ie not a white surface.

    $65 for a spindle of 25 from ( used to be a sponser here )

    Cheers.
    When I was a kid, I used to have an imaginary friend. I thought he went everywhere with me. I could talk to him and he could hear me, and he could grant me wishes and stuff too. But then I grew up, and stopped going to church.
